I just went to check the place up before I inquire. I was taken back by the horrible smell in the lobby. The floors and carpet were very dirty. Not to mentioned I witnessed two drug deals right on front of the place in broadā€¦Ā See More >

    Rented another one of Ateam property apartments near St Rose College. Do not do it. The regular homeless going thru the garbage cans in driveway the highlight. Maintenance is awful. Had water leak in bedroom ceiling. No one came until next day brooms buckets plasterā€¦Ā See More >

                Checked this place out this week. Yuck! When I got there, they had the sidewalk blocked off from an outside wall that was falling! Inside it smelled like pot and ciggarettes on every floor we looked at. Weird drug addict toothless people walking around too.ā€¦Ā See More >

                                  In 1848 this was Amstel Brewery. In 1908 they made it into hotel/apts. The Knickerbocker is an eccentric place! I have experienced spiritual activities. The tenants are friendly. It is absolutely intriguing & draws you in historically. Each apartment here is different in size & layout.ā€¦Ā See More >
