    Really good location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super was amazing, the roof top had a nice patio/garden space, and the neighbors were good
    Cons:
    Trying to get things fixed was a very slow process.

    Was the best
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    beautiful, great neighbors
    Cons:
    Package theft and unsafe street
    Over 1 year ago
    Centrally located with nice rooftop
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The rooftop, the super was helpful
    Cons:
    The location is very convenient, but sometimes felt alarming due to drug users
    Over 2 years ago
    Mostly fine, most problems are more a result of the area.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Quiet, mostly always clean, everything works, convenient location, washer/dryer always free when I need it, serious problems fixed quickly.
    Cons:
    Wall in bedroom is warped slightly, bedroom window is nearly impossible to open. The super also has a full time job so he is gone for large parts of the day (I got locked out once and he wasn’t going to be home for several hours). Worst thing about building is area. People hang out on the stoops and do crack regularly and packages are sometimes stolen. Not sure what the building can do to fix this but it is a major nuisance and I get how some might feel it unsafe.
    Advice to owner:
    Come up with a better mail system so not as many packages go missing.

    Lovely Harlem Studio
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    super well connected, new rooftop, super in the building, nice finishes and the space is very well organized
    Cons:
    noise just because of the 125th (but good windows that isolated)
    Advice to owner:
