Sad to leave

Pros

Loved living here - the doormen are elevator attendants because it’s an older elevator that they need to operate, but they’re all so lovely. My apartment was gut renovated and lovely. It’s south facing on a northeast corner which is great for sun.

Cons

Older building for sure but the apartments themselves are typically renovated.
