I like it, but you gotta be really into percussion.
Pros
I really like this neighborhood, it was my first Brooklyn place and I stayed for 2 years because it’s unpretentious and the businesses are full of kind people. This building is in a really really convenient spot for laundry, delis, and trains, mostly.
Cons
Stairs are a little wonky in some spots…and we have had mice before. They sealed up the holes and all seems well, but not sure how long that will last. Maintenance is a little bit lacking, and there’s definitely no warning as to when they’re coming in, but that’s not uncommon. At least they’re usually quick! AC only in two bedrooms, and unfortunately it’s not in the tiny window rooms.
Owner broke lease after fly infestation
Pros
Close to public transit, entertainment and neighborhood vibe.
Cons
My unit had a pest infestation when Covid first broke out. Roommates and I were spending all of our time at home while flies took over the kitchen and bathrooms. This went on for months. The property was managed by a co-living company called Bungalow. We were able to get a discount on rent for the trouble. We were told with less than 30 days notice that they were ending our lease shortly after the infestation was finally resolved.
