Great location awful building
Pros
Location is amazing
Cons
Outside noise is so bad. Garbage trucks come at midnight and even being on a higher floor it feels like you’re inside the truck. So loud. And you can hear people yelling outside, loud cars, loud music. I’ve lived in New York for over a decade and this is louder that usuall. Also you can definitely hear neighbors stomping around. Not a lot of peace and quiet. Also every other Sunday someone cooks something that smells so fishy and the smell literally seeps into my apartment. Overstimulation central. Also the trash is kept inside the apartment building ground level and it’s so smelly on bad days. People pay way too much to live here. I’ve seen roaches in the main staircase and I don’t doubt the walls are covered in them. The super can be responsive but he will often do whatever he wants / not exactly what you’re asking for. Even when things break or need to get fixed it could take forever or be quick. But you never know or get a clear explanation of anything.
Advice to the owners
Do better for the amount of rent you charge
Fine place, 2021-2023 Studio
Pros
Great location for both enjoying West Village but also getting nearly anywhere via W4 St station. Fun place to be in your shoebox era.
Cons
Honestly the reason I left is it is just too tiny with a joke of a kitchen to justify the price. But you already knew that. The two biggest issues were: 1. The windows don't seal, so you get a ton of noise, dust, unwanted heat / cold 2. The lack of A/C with west facing windows makes for some uncomfortable nights There is basically no community
