The location is praised for its convenience, close to parks, botanical gardens, and public transport. Rent-stabilized units and a responsive live-in superintendent are appreciated.

    Nice but overpriced.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is well maintained and the neighbors are friendly. The location is fantastic and the super very responsive.
    Cons:
    Rent was raised $1000; unit was re-listed as a "luxury" apartment. It is a perfectly nice building but is definitely not luxury. Units are overpriced and management seemingly had no interest in retaining tenants.

    Great location and great people
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    * The building has a real community of people who have lived there a long time. There's even a Christmas party in the lobby every year.
    * Live-in super is pretty responsive.
    * Rent stabilized units!
    * Close to the park, botanic garden, subway, and restaurants.
    * A package room.
    * In my experience, the landlord is professional. They're responsive. They're not criminal. (some landlords are!)
    Cons:
    The landlord is a professional landlord. They're gonna raise the rent.
