The place met our expectations.
The apartment is not only in a "pre-war" building, it is also in a pre-war state, lol. Old plumbing, low water pressure, exterior fire escape stairs, noisy steam heating, bashed-up bathtub, dated wiring, (some of the ceiling lights operate on a pull cord string), dirty windows that don't open nor close well. (But clean apartment overall !)
Very noisy location on Nostrand Ave: wailing police sirens all hours of the day and night, local yokels driving cars without mufflers and blaring music, noisy people yelling in the street, apartment rumbles when the subway trains pass underneath. But the price was good, and this is Brooklyn, so no complaints - it's part of the New York experience. Would definitely consider staying here again :-) Avi responded promptly to all messages. A hassle-free stay.
