    Nice quiet place
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice building, great staff, garden view. In the heart of West Village but still quiet since it's on a quiet block. I've been quite happy living here and would still be here if they hadn't raised my rent by 25%.
    Cons:
    Even though the surface has been renovated, the guts of the building are still pretty old so weird stuff can happen with the pipes, etc. For example, we have this weird gunk that collects on our water faucets where the water comes out so we have to clean them every month or two. The soundproofing between apartments isn't great and the floors are SUPER squeaky. You'll make a ton of noise even tiptoeing around your apartment with bare feet. Our downstairs neighbors has complained to us many times.
    Advice to owner:
    Actually upgrade the guts of the building instead just surfaces. Fix the squeaky floors. Don't raise rent by so much
