Pros - upon arrival, I was kindly greeted by Rachel who was so kind and gave me a rundown on all things I’d need to know in regards to the apartment. The checkin process was great, the apartment and my rooms furniture were in prestige condition. Daniela also answered within a few hours every time I reached out which was appreciated!
Cons - If you’re not from NY, keep in mind this area is a little scary when you 1st arrive. It definitely takes some time getting used to, but as long as you keep an eye out at your surroundings and especially in the evenings as a female, you should be fine. FYI, it’s across the street from Sumner Houses. Unfortunately, the apartment had a small but persistent cockroach issue in the kitchen. We were careful not to leave food laying around, and although we communicated the issue having been present since day1 to our host, the traps that were laid out the 1st two times were not nearly strong enough to combat the issue. Only after a few weeks, and another tenant complaining, did an extermination take place. The cockroaches were still present despite this. I appreciate the host helping to try to fix the issue, but it was only after several outreaches. Also for the price I was paying per month, I think this shouldn’t have even be an issue to begin with. The host did allow me to cut my stay short to make up for this.
Overall was the place ok? Yes it was comfortable, but had a a few setbacks. If you’re ok with seeing a bug or two, then the place is not bad
