    Kips Bay Court is a great option
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Stable, reliable, responsive, great amenities. Gym is fine. Mailroom is great. Rooms and kitchens are huge. Balconies are great.

    Walls are a little thin, and doormen aren't very personal. High lockout fees.

    Solid place to rent

    It was pretty good
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I enjoyed how nice the leasing office was and all of the amenities they had to offer
    Cons:
    I didn’t enjoy no ac in the living room, and there’s only one elevator working for a 16 floor complex, because they’re renovating them
