The flat is in a great location, 5 minutes from Bedford Ave subway stop and so 10 minutes in to Manhattan. Also the neighbourhood has a lot going on with great bars, restaurants and thrift stores.
However, the flat should not be sold as ‘luxury’. We were very disappointed when we arrived, and wanted to leave. It could do with a big renovation, but even if James was just to clean it and get rid of some of his stuff, it would vastly improve it. All the cupboards are crammed with his things so that there was nowhere to hang our clothes, and only one drawer had been emptied. There was no heating when we arrived, and the window didn’t shut properly, so our children were freezing on the sofas. When we messaged James, he responded quickly and turned the heating on, but then it was much too hot and we couldn’t regulate the temperature on the thermostat.
It is loft-style experience, but more student than luxury.
