The Westport - Hell's Kitchen
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building management is very responsive. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Building, fitness center, business center and outdoor rooftop and patio are always clean.
Cons:
The walls between apartments can be very thin and the sound can carry. There were times where we heard our neighbors even through the living room and into the bedroom.
