Spacious and clean, and nice kitchen, but this place is on a rough commercial street in what is otherwise a mostly residential area. Lots of loud traffic. We were disturbed at night by the hissing and popping radiator pipes, and the overheated bedroom which forced us to open a window. We had no thermostat in the unit. I think this is common in old New York row houses (overheating without individual unit controls), but unpleasant nevertheless. And, yes, per a prior reviewer, you do have to bang your knees or sit sideways to use the toilet. Overall, disappointing for the cost.
