Ayana's place is very spacious and was very clean. It's close to a couple of subway lines, as well as the LIRR, so that's great. The neighborhood is developing, with lots of beautiful buildings. There is a large market nearby, and a couple of restaurants, but there isn't too much selection. Nostrand Ave is still a few steps behind Franklin.

I didn't find noise too objectionable, although a couple of nights, the upstairs neighbor was stomping around at late hours. As a light sleeper, this is the worst kind of noise, as it's low-frequency and random. This is beyond Ayana's control, so just pointing it out.

The main problem I had was with the shower. Although it has excellent water pressure, the temperature would fluctuate wildly, and it just seemed like the hot and cold knobs weren't connected to anything. Not a deal breaker, but just annoying, and I know this is an older building with plumbing to match, so again, not anything Ayana can really do about it.

As I was here for work, I found the place to be a bargain.
