4/2/17
overpriced apartments and very loud with nightclub next door
very overpriced and then you will regret moving in from day 1. You hear noise from upstairs neighbors, nightclub next door and tons of street noise right outside bedroom window. Landlord asks for 2 months secruity and has history of trying to keep all or part of deposit even if you leave apartment in perfect condtion. grocery stores are VERY far away as is subway. Could not wait to leave when I moved in. Not a good experience at all.
