Great spot in a great location
Pros
- Magical location - Charming apartment - Well-priced - Great super
Cons
- Laundry has been broken for a long time
Advice to the owners
Nothing - great experience living here.
Not worth it
Pros
Amazing neighborhood and relatively decent sized apartment units. Super takes good care of common areas like the hallway, stoop and garbage cans. No issues in winters with shoveled snow, etc. Also love the working fireplace.
Cons
Everything is broken which means you’re overpaying for the conditions you live in. I thought it was just our apartment but was surprised to find another review with similar feedback. The building is VERY poorly insulated so it’s always freezing (sometimes warmer outside than inside) and the bills are easily $300 even with multiple sweatshirts. We can hear the neighbors above, below, and right next to us - who don’t say hi when they see you and aren’t friendly. Sometimes we hear whole conversations. Also don’t expect your things to get fixed when they’re broken. It takes forever and will be temporarily patched. So you just live with broken things (like the hot water the other review mentioned) and make it work because it’s not worth the effort to consistently reach out to the super / landlord. We do it for the neighborhood but generally would not recommend.
Advice to the owners
Unsure if they’re aware things are being patched up and not permanently fixed. May want to check receipts from Super and get tenant feedback. The units will eventually have too many broken things and be more expensive/take longer to gut and resolve.
