116 John Street,

Manhattan, NY 10038

management is great, everyone who works here is great, super clean

windows do not insulate

Lovely staff, great common spaces

Nothing major to report here

If you know your legal rights you’ll live happily and stress free if you don’t then prepare for a bunch of misconstrued facts and finger pointing despite whether you’re right or wrong in this building the only respectful people are the main front desk, maintenance staff, Super, and doorman everyone else is always frustrated and doesn’t want to be bothered

Sonder is an airbnb copycat operating as a hotel from floors 2-14 and they dont pay rent to the building owner either but they collect rent from the short and long term tenants in cash upfront which is selfish and unprofessional. Silverstein Properties blames Sonder and Sonder blames Silverstein Properties it’s a circle of confusion just know the roots are with Michael Levy “The Landlord” if you need to accomplish something write or call and ask to speak to him if you really want to get anything accomplished otherwise forget about it

“Michael Levy” do your job please, that’s all we’re asking nothing more nothing less. Get involved with what is going on in YOUR BUILDING

Doorman and elevator

Management was rude

affordable-ish for the area but the price comes with its quirks like closets being in the hallway. the area is super safe and the door people are truly 24/7. Great appliances and AMAZING rooftop

this is a FiDi con but there is NO light. In fact, one of the rooms doesn’t even have a window nor does the living space. Price should be lower bc of that but location = $$$.

Beautiful clean building, great location. The front desk staff knows you by name, and maintenance is prompt. I’ve never had a pest issue, noise, or cleanliness issue. Gym is decent and longue is beautiful. Would suggest anyone live here.

Roof being closed for several months for construction is not ideal, and construction next door can be noisy at times.

Nice finishes in the unit. Nice staff

Small floorplans/units, gym and rooftop are not great, just good.

Price, Staff, Roof Deck

Odd layouts, no real ovens, dark apartments

Good overall experience

The doormen are wonderful, know you by name, give feeling of community

To get to the laundry room occupants on many floors have to take 2 elevators-in such a large building having a second laundry room would be nice

Landmarked building, nice apartment interiors, quiet at night, nice laundry room, great location

Elevators are always down, small roof deck without bbq, it’s an absolute maze needing to take 3 different elevators to access roof, concierges mostly seem grumpy, sound transfers through air vents from other apartments,

Please fix the elevators

Quiet, clean, updated

Construction outside building

Nice lobby and front desk staff. Nice rooftop and great location.

Had issues with appliances and had to submit maintenance requests constantly. Room shared a wall with the back of the elevator so I heard them all throughout the day.

They were really accommodating and moving in and out was seamless. Doormen were so friendly. Shared laundry and rarely any issues with that. Gym was decent. Rooms were clean and lots of natural light

3/4 into the lease the management company sold 14 floors to Sonder (an AirBnb like company) and that included our floor. We unfortunately had to move out at the end of our lease but our remaining time there we were dealing with people in and out of the building and treating the floors like a literal hotel (leaving food out in the hallway, etc.)

Please don’t turn the rest of this beautiful building over to Sonder. Be more communicative with your actual tenants.

As someone who recently moved to this building during the COVID pandemic, I am truly enjoying living here! As soon as I walk in, I love being greeted by the kind workers! My one bedroom space is very clean, spacious enough for a NYC building(especially the kitchen space) and the amenities are very nice! I enjoy studying in the lounge, relaxing at the rooftop on the weekend & working out in the gym!

Can’t really complain tbh, i love this building!

Keep up the great work!

Super friendly staff, maintenance was very responsive and kind. Amenities were great and proximity to the subway is amazing.

Cheap appliances often didn’t work well, and there were frequent drainage issues in both bathrooms that maintenance couldn’t even fix. The apartments are also super dark because of the tall buildings surrounding.

Invest in better appliances if you’re charging so much for rent!

High ceilings. Nice doormen / women

You live in a hotel. Metro loft only cares about the short term guests. Not tenants. People can rent by the night and have access to all the amenities. Everyone living here wants to leave. Landlord doesn’t even have to disclose it.. horrible company They don’t even tell us if these guests have to follow any Covid protocol. It’s horrible

Care about your tenants. Get rid of Sonders or at least offer some transparency with your tenants. We’ve been begging for more communication and understanding

The staff is awesome.

Short term rentals by a company called Sonder

Get rid of Sonder!
