The Westport - Hell's Kitchen

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.
