The unit itself was very clean and comfortable in every way, including many small touches that made it feel very homey. We enjoyed our time there and don't hesitate to recommend. On the maps app that I used, the building isn't even shown because it is very new. The large building next to it has also been renovated compared to what I saw on the maps app. I wondered if the proximity to major roads might make it a noisy area, but it was in fact very quiet and peaceful in and out of the unit. The neighborhood itself is clearly in the process of a positive transition with vibrant businesses and many properties that are newly constructed and renovated mixed in with some properties that are still run down. We easily walked to both the Brook Ave and 3rd Avenue subway stations. I actually thought the bit longer walk to the 3rd Avenue station along Bruckner and Alexander was better lit at night. We had plans both in Manhattan and the northern Bronx so this location worked quite well for us. The TV setup with all kinds of streaming services already set up was much appreciated.
