Decent building on UES

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Great Location, Great Neighborhood

Pros

I couldn't have been more pleased with living here. I was nervous to move to NYC, but this building/apartment was safe, spacious, and comfortable. The proximity to multiple subways AND Central Park is unbeatable. The Super is fantastic and very responsive. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place on the UES.

Cons

I don't have any complaints. It was a great first apartment in NYC.
