    Loudest block in Manhattan
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    cozy apartments, plenty of closet space, very responsive and helpful super, roof is furnished and has a great view. Exterminator comes regularly, no issues with pests.
    Cons:
    Property management company can be difficult to reach. Rent rates vary wildly between units. Water pressure is lacking. Street noise is so awful, it will compromise sleep quality 9 times out of 10. Neighborhood is VERY young and getting younger.

    best street, best rooftop
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super William was always kind, helpful, and immediately responsive. The apartment finishings were nice but not cold and luxury-condo-esque. Incredible location and the best rooftop view in East Village.
    Cons:
    Expensive for the size, and the six floor walkup is no joke.
