The apartment is nice and quiet, near Brooklyn College. It backs up to a playground. About 8 min to walk to the 2 train, red line, and about half that distance to get to the closest bus stops.
I was there in July, and it was very hot without air conditioning. I used the ceiling fan so I could sleep. On my last day there only, I took a shower before 6 am and the water didn't get warm. You also have to hold down the handle on the toilet for awhile to get a full flush. However, I would stay again bc I like the neighborhood and the apartment.
