Reviews

Former tenant·4 minutes ago

Nice spot to live

Pros

Close to subway, parks, near some restaurants. Building is newly renovated, landlord is chill

Cons

None, can get a little loud nearby

Former tenant·Over 4 years ago

Great for folks new to New York.

Pros

Very cheap for what it was. Right next to the train, anything you could need was nearby. Great neighborhood and friendly neighbors. Brooklyn at its finest.

Cons

Mice and rats to high heaven. Back yard is infested. 2 doors down is rat breeding ground. Landlord sends the laziest pest control guy. Only seals holes, never lays out traps. Water quality was horrible. Skin conditions within weeks of moving in. Really shady about signing leases.
