Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

fast comute to train station

Pros

Great location in the heart of Brooklyn, with easy access to shops, restaurants, museums, and entertainment. The excellent public transportation system can save you time and money.

Cons

Well, this building is great when it's clean. Unfortunately, 45 percent of the people living in the apartment are not careful with the cleanliness, and it's hard for the superintendent to keep it up.
