Reviews

Former tenant·8 months ago

Great option for Columbia Students

Pros

The apartments in 205 W 107 are the most spacious and luxurious you'll get by Columbia at this price. Having a washer/dryer in-unit and a dishwasher is amazing.

Cons

Landlord can be a bit unresponsive and slow to fix issues at times.

Just stay away

Pros

Pretty nice apartments and spacious

Cons

Just about everything else you can imagine wrong with an apartment in the city, this building has it. Mice, bugs, terrible manager, loud and obnoxious neighbors, always new tenants coming and going every month. If you have any problems good luck getting it taken care of.
