    Nice, well-maintained building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I liked my experience here. Pretty quiet and well-maintained building with good amenities (roof deck and gym are great).
    Cons:
    Only thing I didn't really love was the location. Neighborhood isn't the best and it's not super close to the subway.
