Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Noise, horrible super, issues with heat & water

Pros

Close to F train

Cons

Bridge noise is insanely loud.Especially in the Summer when you need to put in an AC unit. So many issues with not having heat or hot water. Constant construction in the area that is also loud. I can not stress enough how terrible the super Jose is.
