Spacious Old Building with Friendly Landlords
Pros
HUGE apartments. Biggest I've seen in NYC. Landlord is generally quite accommodating. Very central location.
Cons
Building is old. Floor is pretty drastically slanted, as are the stairs on the walk up. Central location means very noisy facing 2nd Ave.
Advice to the owners
Barring some MAJOR rennovations and maybe some new appliances, this apt is is pretty good shape.
