First, the pros:
-Great neighborhood
-Close to several subway lines
-Communicative and helpful host
-Hilarious stuffed animal decorations
Next, I should mention the cons:
-Very VERY noisy, other reviewers weren’t lying that you can hear absolutely everything upstairs at all hours of the night.
-internet is decent but too slow for prolonged WFH if that’s what you’re looking for. Video calls don’t work well.
-Almost no cell phone service in the basement apartment.
-Poor water pressure in case that’s important to you.
-My husband had mysterious bug bites.
-Very bare bones in terms of amenities, bring your own soap and hair dryer!
