Decent space in the heart of East Village
Pros
Pretty clean and modern for the price Great location Super was friendly and responsive Virtual doorman
Cons
Radiator heat Narrow and steep staircase hard to move furniture Most of the parking is taken by police cars Unusable fireplace takes up space in room No counterspace in kitchen Units pretty small
Great apartment & outdoor space
Pros
Clean, well managed building. Packages are relatively safe - I have never gotten anything stolen and I have quite a few shipments come in each month, but I have heard some neighbors have had packages stolen, particularly during the holidays. Super and landlord are always very responsive. Great shared outdoor space - wonderful for having company over. Tenants have parties in the yard which can be noisy, but there is a rule that the yard cannot be used after 10pm which is generally followed.
Cons
Mice can be in the trash cans by the entrance - somewhat unavoidable. I have never seen a rodent inside the building. I have seen some very small bugs, but everything minor overall.
Advice to the owners
Great job!
