help pricing a 1 BR rental?

I own a 3 family in Bed-Stuy and am having trouble renting out a 1 bedroom apt. It’s a high quality reno and the apartment is really beautiful: parquet floors, original shutters, 10′ tin ceilings, 2 decorative mantels, new kitchen with ss appliances, free shared washer/dryer, etc. The location is good and, while the block isn’t very pretty, it’s super convenient (1 block to the express stop at Nostrand, 1 block to major grocery store and PO). It’s also spacious, a true 675SF. How would you price it? Is anybody else having trouble renting their apartments?
