Pros
Super close to Pratt's campus which was nice as a student. The roof was a nice amenity too.
Cons
The rooms are incredibly small, as an architecture student I now know they were only a couple inches above the code minimum. Only really big enough for a twin bed if you want any space at all. Secondly, there are just too many rooms per unit. My unit was a duplex for no discernable reason with 5 other roommates, so 6 of us total, sharing 2 bathrooms and what can only generously be described as a kitchen. The front door to the building is consistently broken and packages are stolen all the time. Additionally, the laundry in the basement has no way to set temperatures on the wash or dry cycles, so I had to go to a laundromat to do laundry.
Not that stellar
Pros
Great location, nice view from the roof.
Cons
Building seems really shoddily kept together, which is ridiculous considering the price. No central heating means tenants pay for heating through electrical AC. Not a very charming place
