Lived Here 5 Years, Great Spot

Pros

Great location, quiet street, near enough to everything without being in the center of it all. Laundry in building is great, but could use more machines.

Cons

Elevator frequently broken. Neighbors can be loud, but there are worse things than a guy teaching voice lessons out of his apartment down the hall. The Super (when I was there) wasn't on top of things, you really had to pester him to get anything done.

Advice to the owners

More laundry machines! Otherwise, I had a lovely time.
