The location is good for using the subways. Literally 100 yards away. Quiet street.
This place is like your grandma's. Hasn't been updated for probably 50 years and all the stuff in there is a collection of hand me downs or free stuff. A lot of things were broken. The furniture and beds are newer and in good shape but everything else is really old. The kitchen is a good size and functional but the cabinets are dirty. I washed each dishes before I used it as the insides of cabinets are gross. Grease and other stains all over them.
The bathroom has mold all over the shower and tub. There's enough hot water for one shower at a time not enough for two in a row. The bathroom also is 50 yrs old and it shows.
The owner doesnt provided hand towels for washing, I asked for some, didnt provided kitchen towels. I asked and the owner said the maid should have left some and sorry. Didnt offer any yet wanted me to do all the dishes before I left so I used a bath towel for washing and drying hands the whole time I was there.
The place is cold. The windows dont shut all the way and its impossible to keep warm. I asked for a space heater so my 4 year old daughter could stay warm and the owner wouldnt do that. The owner did turn up the heat, as you cant control it, but wouldnt turn it up enough to be comfortable.
The owner basically is trying to rent this place out and not have to put any money into making it nice.
The layout worked well for me. The second bedroom is in the main bedroom and was good for having a small child with you. No privacy though and the psuedo doors between them were falling off.
My biggest complaint which I mentioned to the owner twice was the overwhelming pot smell in the apartment from the unti below which is where the owner lives. It was so unbearable when you walk in I had to leave the outside door open to air it out. I asked the owner to do something about it and never got a response each time. For this reason and the others and how cheap the owner was I would not stay here again.
