Pros:
Very warm during the winter.
Easy access to food, grocery, transportation.
Great lighting from a corner apartment. Lots of windows
Cons:
Very noisey street, lots of people hanging out and playing music on the corner and hanging out on the stoop. Landlord always hangs out on stoop as well. You will be running into him every single day snd he will act creepy and flirt with you.
Advice to owner:
Your concern for privacy and security is valid, but you are misleading about plumbing issues, about property management, bugs and mice. And the feeling of being constantly watched everyday feels suffocating.
