Not Bad, Not Great

Pros

Location is great near TJ's / 6 train / Midtown. Fairly quiet street across from Windsor Court courtyard.

Cons

Lobby consistently smells like BO. Elevator is super sketchy, if you catch it on an off-day it will shake super bad and leave you stuck for 10-15 seconds. Management still has not fixed.

Advice to the owners

Fix the elevator and freshen up the lobby once in a while.
