The apartments are in a neighborhood that required nearly an hour commute by train to Manhattan. The property appears to need maintenance. There were NO smoke detectors in two bedrooms on the 3rd floor, the was a missing Newell post on the top of the 3rd floor stairway which made the entire railing unstable. In the 3rd floor bath, we noted on arrival the towel bar had been pulled out of the wall & this was reported to the owner, but was not repaired during our stay. Toilet paper holders in both baths were broken or missing. There are 6 bedrooms, but only 2 baths. It was not an ideal situation. More baths would be appreciated. There are multiple holes in the walls throughout the 2 apartment where wires have been pulled thru & the effect is unsettling & unsightly.
On the upside, it was a short walk to the J Train.
Finally, the owner, in his welcome letter, asked us not to tell anyone who came to the door that we were renting from him which makes us wonder whether there was some kind of zoning issue in play.
We would not likely stay here again.
We never met the owner during our stay.
