A lovely space to call home
Pros
Charming with its flaws and quirks but it truly is a beautiful old "brownstone-esque" building. The location for this upper area of the UWS cannot be beat (Mamas Too and Absolute Bagels are your neighbor) and access to Riverside park is amazing. The live in super Ainsley is very kind, and does a great job with the trash (all of it is tucked away down by the basement which is huge for cleanliness). A neighbor on the first floor keeps a lush flower garden outside of 219. Living here went beyond my expectations. Combo washer/dryer and dishwasher in unit. Oh also the unit is massive, we had two couches and a 4 person dining table in our living room, and the kitchen was a large separate room too.
Cons
We did have some roach issues in our unit but it was always addressed quickly, this is a gem of a place. There are also a ton of cracks in the walls which can be concerning and my unit was quite out of date in this way - could use updating!
Advice to the owners
I loved living here! 4W could use some updating in the near future but its a lovely unit.
