Beautiful apartment, proactive maintenance, but AC has been iffy
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very nice views of the private garden. Huge bedrooms. For example, the 2bd 2ba i’m in, one room is about 15x12.

The doormen have been employed for a while, so they get to know everybody and have deep connections to the residents. Service has also been pretty good about getting to issues quickly, or offering suitable replacements.
Cons:
My AC unit broke and has been leaking. It’s been broken since around late summer and it hasn’t been fixed yet.

Additionally, sometimes the circuit to the AC shortcircuits and we need someone to fix that.

Loved the 10 years I rented
Former Tenant
Pros:
A little oasis in the middle of Manhattan. Apartments have tons of natural light. Everyone on staff very kind and attentive. The building itself was secure, well-lit, and has access to a private park/courtyard with lots of space for both kids and adults. Never had a problem with the package room or laundry room. The gym requires an additional annual fee but machines were always available, clean, and up to date.
Cons:
Rent is landlord dependent (good) but current rents are $$$. Had a few leaks but all quickly addressed. Some units are more recently updated than others so it depends on where you rent. I have heard various complaints about the north tower but can’t speak to those.
