"A stopover at best"

I would only recommend this as a short term place to live or a place for someone who has no aspirations beyond keggers on the roof. Most of McKibben is warehouse space turned loft apartments for folks who don't believe in washing their hair. The loft apartments are very unfinished, my friend lived in one where the two bedrooms didn't have ceilings they were just cheap walls separating them from the kitchen. Perhaps this would be good for a single person or couple in a studio, but walking around 265 McKibben, there were typically tons of people crammed in every apartment. There is obvious tension between the loft dwellers and other Bushwick residents and it makes it very unfriendly to walk around the neighborhood.
