    Great Place and Community
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great place, spacious, near lots of great spots (Prospect Park, Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, bars, restaurants, Franklin Ave, etc), near trains. Plug your drains at night and you won’t have roaches. Was a great home.
    Cons:
    If you work from home know that this area has lots of noisy air traffic. Particularly helicopters fly directly over the building at low altitudes (300ft) sometimes all day every 15 minutes. This made the place too expensive for me in all honesty.
