good for a first apartment, you'll move on quickly
Pros
- Backfacing units were shockingly quiet on such a busy street - Backfacing units are up against no buildings so amazing natural light and big windows, fire escape is really pleasant in the summer - Tall ceilings - Great subway access - Great takeout food access
Cons
- Issues with pests - Insanely loud heat pipe (even for heat pipes) - Always a scene right outside, like even to take your trash out you'd usually need to pass by a few people on the stoop and then cut through the line to the bar downstairs before discarding the trash right next to the bar's door.
Advice to the owners
fix the heat pipe somehow
Impossible to sleep due to heat pipe
Pros
High ceilings, cute tiled bathroom, back facing apartments are quiet
Cons
Mice, heat pipe banged (sounded like a wrench being hit on metal) 5 to 6 times a night waking us up, heat piped also went off during the day making it hard to work from home, outdated kitchen, packages stolen, management unresponsive, apartment filthy on move-in and never felt very clean despite our best efforts
Advice to the owners
Please fix the heat pipe and get a professional cleaner to deep clean the place!
