Murray Hill Muse Review

Pros

Rent not too bad, spacious area. Packages system efficient.

Landlord / Super EXTREMELY helpless - and main reason I moved out - Never responded to calls or emails - By the end of our lease we had emailed him saying that we weren't staying and his email inbox was FULL because he never opens anything

Advice to the owners
