Reviews

Former tenant·11 months ago

Good Location, Mediocre Interior

Pros

Proximity to 2/3/4/5 trains at Franklin Ave & Eastern Parkway. Proximity to Prospect Park, Brooklyn Museum, and Botanic Garden. Plenty of grocery and food options nearby. Same with laundromats.

Cons

Heating was inconsistent, and the system needs upgrading. Sometimes hot water would run out quickly. 4th bedroom is extremely tiny. No in building laundry.

Advice to the owners

Ensure the heating system is adequate and keeps all tenants warm.

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Bed bugs in the last year!

Pros

Spacious - huge bright front bedroom Great location Small building and neighbors are very quiet families that have been there for years

Cons

Bed bugs bed bugs bed bugs Too floor unit (apt 8) had bed bugs twice in one year even after a very thorough first treatment.

Advice to the owners

Take care of the bed bugs FOR REAL not just small treatments that don’t get to the source of the problem
