Not bad I guess
Pros
Room seems fairly well insulated. Rent only increased by a few percent each year, and negotiable. Exposed brick and high ceiling with exposed beams is nice. Central air. Decent bathroom. Quiet inside even though it's right by Times Square.
Cons
In-unit washer dryer in the bathroom takes up too much space, it's right in front of the toilet. Also it shakes too much. Not much sunlight. Landlord isn't very competent. Garbage room sometimes overfills but it's been getting better recently. No kitchen counter space in my studio. Fridge door installed the wrong way. Have some ants and clothes moths in the apartment.
OK for price
Pros
Very close to subway, big apartment, good heating system.
Cons
Occasional cockroach sighting, but owner sprays monthly.
