Great newish building with amazing security
Former Tenant
Pros:
Really great, well-maintained building. Amazing security in the lobby, definitely the safest I've felt in NY.
Cons:
Since this is a building geared towards students, the units are tiny efficiencies and most lack private kitchens (there are shared kitchens on alternate floors). Depending on how clean your floor-mates are, therefore, cleanliness of the said kitchens can become quite the problem. That said, the management is responsive and does its best to respond to such complaints.
Since the walls are fairly thin, noise can also be a bit of an issue but a call to the front desk typically takes care of it.
