Not bad. It sure looks better maintained than the inside of a lot of public schools.

"Conveniently situated between Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill, a stones throw to Trader Joe's, Sahadi's and many other wonderful shops and restaurants"

mopar, did you forget the "European style built-ins".

"These spaces are the final word in minimalist design and style. These sleep and toileting lounges bring everything into one convenient and easy to clean space. You can literally hose it all down at the end of a busy week."
