Overall, this place isn't too shabby, I'll give it a 3.5/5 stars.

Apt: The apartment is affordable, you will save money by staying here!! The two other roommates that I had were for the most part kind and pleasant. However, three people sharing an apt can lead to a level of cleanliness that might be a problem. The internet can be spotty--too many people sharing one bandwidth! Edward was attentive to these issues and said he'd put a router in the apt that I stayed in...cross fingers!. If not, then expect issues with your internet, esp. if you watch videos via Netflix and/ or Hulu. (I just think he needs a faster connection speed, he's running a business and needs an internet level that will accommodate this reality )

I moved in the apt towards the end of the summer (August)--which meant that it was hot! The apt doesn't have a systematic/ installed cooling system or units. There is, in each room, a "ceiling fan" to buffer you from the heat, or at least try too. I do believe though that it has a heating system for those of you who might lodge there during the winter months. The fan (and the one I purchased) came in handy during these months and given the much cooler fall conditions, were --thankfully--not needed as much.

Neighborhood: Bed-Stuy/ Brooklyn; this apt is essentially in the ghetto (however, from the look of things, the area is undergoing gentrification...there were tons of "urban renewal" projects around the area, including on the street where the apt is located). There are no "good" (i.e. healthy) eateries in the immediate area: lest you count all the major fast food joints. Though the A, C, & G trains are accessible to Manhattan and d-town brooklyn. Like most places in NYC you should expect noise at night...lots of noise, perhaps too much noise! Laundry is in walking distance and so is the YMCA--which is rather affordable when compared to other work out facilities.

Good luck with your search!
