Reviews

Former tenant·3 months ago

Great location, decently managed, large apartments

Pros

For midtown Manhattan, I get a lot of space. And an elevator. And laundry in building. Have never seen a package get stolen. Management is responsive and the super is helpful. I live right atop the restaurant at this address and that comes with its own noise, but overall, street noises are at minimum (aside from emergency vehicle sirens). The transportation options are amazing, I feel like I can get right where I need to go.

Cons

The laundry room can smell really bad because it’s right next to the trash. The elevator is slow and faulty. My apartment had a minor roach problem ever since the building next door put up the scaffolding and the basement was sprayed for roaches, but after getting sprayed myself I haven’t seen another one.
