What they don't tell you when you're about to rent a top floor apartment in an old Brooklyn building: very, very hot. Very bad idea. Tar roof= heat. Apartment= oven.

The heat turns out to be unbearable, forcing you to leave the A/C on all day long, and blow a fuse. Of course, as a practical couple you only have one working A/C, so you are limited to the bedroom. Could have rented a studio!
Oh, I'm not complaining; another A/C would translate as a higher bill of course. I just wish we knew about the whole roof=heat situation before laying down the deposit.
