Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Decent place, good location

Pros

Well kept apartments. Very convenient location and has good amenities

Cons

Loud if you have the room near the street but it’s mostly fine. Sometimes weird smells coming from the restaurant (gas, etc.) but it’s also mostly fine.

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

238 Wyckoff Ave Unit 2L

Pros

The buildings had nice modern finishes, the bathrooms were well set up and clean, the washer and dryer in unit was great.

Cons

This was borderline untenable due to the noise from the restaurant bellow. It was so loud the windows rattled every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night from 9pm-4am. The restaurant owners and managers had little sympathy.

Advice to the owners
