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.
