Reviews

Former tenant·11 months ago

Perfectly adequate apartment

Pros

Decent size living room, friendly neighbors, good heat and water.

Cons

Unit was incredibly dirty upon moving in and has a lot of small damages that need repairs. Also a lot of big dogs barking, but what can you do. Fairly overpriced for the area.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Worst apartment experience in NYC

Pros

The apartment itself was spacious and cheap

Cons

Landlord would not complete basic repairs e.g. left a hole in my ceiling for weeks after a portion of the ceiling collapsed. Stole my security deposit after trying to convince me to not move out or to move to one of their other properties.

Advice to the owners

Be better.
