    Had a a nice stay
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice area, lots of food
    Cons:
    A bit far from stations, pricey for what you get
    Over 1 year ago
    Good first apartment in NY experience
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, great super who lives nearby and is very responsive
    Cons:
    Noise levels coming from the street, bit of a pest problem at times. Landlord/owner communication lags
    Advice to owner:
    Be more responsive
    Over 2 years ago
    Overall fine, except for the mice problems
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Central, close to lots of restaurants, not too many issues
    Cons:
    have faced repeated mice problems
    Over 2 years ago
    Spacious BUT take care of the rodents!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Love the in-unit laundry machine and ample closet space.
    Cons:
    There are holes and cracks throughout the apartment that have clearly not been taken care of, which are entrypoints for multiple mice to get into the apartment. We've had like 4 mouse sightings in less than a year. It's been seen running through the kitchen, living room, and even in one of the bedrooms because it crawls through the radiator/pipe cracks on the floor!

    Neighbors above are always blasting music and partying on the weekends. Occasionally during weekday nights as well. Even sometimes on Sunday mornings!! Can't we just be considerate for people who want to sleep in on a lazy Sunday morning?? And the super never says anything to them about the noise level.
    Advice to owner:
    Don't just give out mouse traps to tenants when they tell you about a mouse problem... The problem requires consistent resealing of cracks where they crawl into the apartments.

    Mostly good building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great building location
    Cons:
    Noise travels through floors a little
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the camera on the door
