    222 Thus Far
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The best parts about this building are the in-unit washer and dryer, dishwasher (small but still helpful), great windows and light, no bad bedrooms, and handy virtual doorman.
    Cons:
    VERY thin floors (lots of noise from upstairs), small fridge, water pressure goes in and out, and street facing bedrooms are pretty noisy.
