For my extended stay to begin my relocation, Marco & Jorge were beyond amazing hosts that made sure the unit was clean & comfy, they tried their best to remedy any unfavorable experiences. However, some were just out of their control.
For the first 5 weeks, the water was merely warm and not hot 90% of the time — Jorge did inform the super of this, but no real improvement until my final week.
If you’re looking to frequent Brooklyn or Harlem, it’s a bit far. Prep for a ride averaging 1 hour & 20 minutes per way by transit or $60+ per way for ride share.
The location is great for being in walking distance to stores of various types. However, the environment can be a bit intimidating & worrisome when there’s a random homeless man sleeping in the lobby or a few of them hanging on the stairs in the middle of the night. There would also be locals who did not live in the building— I asked — loitering & smoking on the stairs throughout the building. The neighbors would allow their dogs to urine & bowel on the stairs & if it happened during the weekend, it would sit there for days until it was cleaned. There would also be an occasional roach in the unit but I think that mainly comes with the building — nothing to do with Jorge & Marco.
I also had 2 Amazon packages stolen from in front of the 5th floor unit door, the neighbor informed me that drug addicts tend to head to the roof to “do their business” & more than likely took my packages.
All in all, I wish the pair owned another place in a better space. Im appreciative of the experience as NY is my new home but this borough/neighborhood is not best suited for me.
