A Fair Stay
Pros
Rent is pretty low. It is pretty good for a budget stay on UWS. Everything else is pretty good except for cleanliness.
Cons
The biggest problem of the building is cleanliness. It's always smelly in the corridor. Cockroaches, flies are common.
Good first apartment
Pros
The are is amazing. You have Central Park less then a block away. You also have Whole Foods, target, tj maxx, and other similar stores really close by.
Cons
The building staircase was often dirty and would stay like that for days sometime even weeks. There would be cigarette filters left on the ground, and at times the entire place would reek of weed.
Advice to the owners
My advice would be to prioritize cleaning the common areas.
