    Great Apartment in the UES
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I love the area and have had a great experience. The building is kept clean and has great historic charm. I adore my neighbors and having in-building laundry has been a nice amenity. Heat and electric are also covered by the building which has been a game changer.
    Cons:
    It's a little far from the subway but the bus is pretty close by. The apartments are on the smaller side and I can hear my neighbors pretty well, but true of most NYC apartments.
    Advice to owner:
    Keep up the good work :)

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Lovely building with well-maintained apartment, good laundry room and package room and beautiful courtyard. In a quiet area of Upper East and easy to get around the city with nearby trains and buses. It is kept vacuumed and cleaned.
    Cons:
    Fully a walkup, a little far from subway.
