Reviews

Former tenant·1 month ago

Bad maintenance and water issues

Pros

Furnished, decent amenities

Cons

Frequent unannounced water shutoffs and elevator failures

Former tenant·5 months ago

Good if you’re desperate

Pros

Clean, comfortable rooms, no pest problems, furnished & utilities included a nice plus. Another big plus for me was they don’t require the crazy 40x rent income/broker fee/a million documents that other rentals do in manhattan, making it doable for me as a student not familiar with the NYC rental game.

Cons

WAY overpriced esp with rate increase. Placed in a room with NO natural light (literally no difference between night and day) (though was able to change to a (more expensive!) room which was better). Neighbors can be a bit noisy esp when doors are right next to each other. And it’s been two months and still haven’t gotten my security deposit back yet :(
