    Wonderful first home in Manhattan
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very easy to navigate and to get in touch with the super. Simplistic and good apartment layout.
    Cons:
    The elevator takes forever sometimes, and would be very difficult when only 1/2 elevators were functioning. Our AC unit lost its effectiveness after a few months. Only saw a total of 3 cockroaches.
