Decent building, awesome ppl in building, great location
Former Tenant
Pros:
Really like how central this is to places to go out at night with close subway access & lots of shops close by. Other tenants in the building are generally my age (mid 29s-30s) and cool creative types. Like the easy accessible shared rooftop to hang out on. And the rooms are leased individually in the apartment so you’re not on the hook for the rent of the whole place if the other rooms aren’t filled or someone moves out- then you just have an extra room until finding the best fit roommate to move into the available room(s)
Cons:
It’s NYC- there’s definitely rats about in the neighborhood. A lot of rooms have loft beds which i thought would be cool and would free up space but climbing up and down a ladder from my bed got old quick. There are rooms in other apartments that are not loft beds, luckily.
