Former tenant·46 minutes ago

Solid B +

Pros

Clean, safe, secure. Super is an 80 yr old puerto rican man who prides himself in keeping the garbage area tidy. Convenient access to L train and all the best spots in the East Village. Never had any pest issues and minimal maintenance concerns

Cons

VERY LOUD on 1st Avenue. I've gone deaf from all the honking.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Great super bad management

Pros

The location is amazing, very convenient. The super is live in which makes it easy if you have small issues with your unit, and he's very friendly and helpful.

Cons

Management is a bit difficult to reach and doesn't accept venmo/zelle for rent payment which is a big inconvenience
