Firstly I want to say that Benjamin was very professional, receptive to feedback and responded to all inquiries and comments more or less immediately. Working with him was a positive experience.
However the apartment itself was generally in need of some light maintenance. Nothing glaring really jumped out but things like the water fixtures and faucets are all a bit cheap and could be improved. Other things like the shower faucet and toilet handles were loose and sometimes wouldn't function correctly. The entire apartment feels a little bit dated and I think the value wasn't there at this price point for a small studio. I will say the wi-fi wasn't working great when I moved in and as soon as I let Benjamin know someone came by and replaced the router to get it working right away.
The location is great, about a 2 minute walk to the A/C/G and 5-10 minutes to almost every other train (2/3/4/5/Q/B). 5 minutes to Smith St and only a few minutes more to Atlantic Terminal, Court St and City Point. The apartment itself is on a very quiet street and while the immediate downtown neighborhood can be a little seedy at times you can get pretty much anything you want on foot in just a couple of minutes. It's on the ground floor so you will get some a little noise from the street and occasionally people hanging out on the stoop in front but nothing too bad.
