This is a very nice apartment with a kitchenette in a great location, a couple of blocks from St. Marks. The outside if the building and hallway are not very nice and we only had hot water for showers one night out of three. (We had lukewarm water but definitely not hot.) Overall pretty good, but a little overpriced considering the hot water issue and condition of the building and hallway. If location is your number one priority and the hot water was working, this apartment would be a good choice.
