Advice to the owners

n/a

Former tenant·8 months ago

No complaints (besides noise)

Pros

Right next to a subway stop, super convenient. Doormen and super are great. Friendly, never had a package stolen. Never had any form of pest issue. Rent stabilized.

Cons

The subway stop you're right next to is aboveground and super loud. As someone who works from home several days a week, I found it difficult to take meetings.
