It’s a solid place for the price. Neighborhood sucks but the place itself is fine.
Pros
- Close to public transit
- Good sized room for nyc, room to breathe
- Cute furniture
Cons
- Bad neighborhood. Sandwiched between a public housing block and some kind of food bank (?). A lot of people in unfortunate situations gather right in front of this apartment and it can be sort of dicey especially for women.
- The nightlife is also pretty bad / non existent here and you need to walk 20-30 mins to the neighboring areas for that.
- Probably the loudest neighborhood I’ve ever lived in. Even worse than when I lived in midtown. There seems to be a local problem with car alarms going off a lot.
- Cheap furniture
- Only one bathroom for four (4!!) rooms
- Cleaners came once a week but it unfortunately isn’t often enough for four rooms worth of dirt and garbage. The place was often dirty. Needs a deep clean too.
