Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Solid building in Midtown East

Pros

Great amenities for price: in building laundry, elevator, trash chute, Amazon locker Great location: lots of nightlife nearby, can walk to east river, union square, Madison square park Excellent and friendly staff

Cons

Single elevator can sometimes feel inconvenient Doors don’t seem to block sound as well

Former tenant·just now

Bed bug issue

Pros

Building has elevator and in building laundry. Nice location on the upper east side.

Cons

The building has experienced an ongoing bed bug issue spanning at least 2 years, and management’s response has been inadequate and focused more on limiting their liability than addressing the problem effectively. Additionally, there is currently a major construction project underway next door, resulting in significant noise and disruption.

Advice to the owners

Take more comprehensive steps to address the underlying bed bug issue rather than focusing primarily on short-term containment.
