OK building – not the best
Pros
My room was inexpensive
Cons
Common area did not have a window. Electricity bills were quite high. Location is not really close to either the L or M trains. Garbage is typically pretty miskept and is outside. No laundry on-site, must go to a building across the street for laundry.

Pros

Cons
thin walls, poor insulation in the winters, little sunlight
