It is ok.
Pros
Responsive super. Generally clean. Very good neighbors and low noise. Convenient location to transportation and food. Good water pressure. Spacious rooms.
Cons
Mice and roaches. Laundry not always available and priced too high for the sizes of the machines. Management is not that responsive and greedy. Elevators break down often and gets stuck with people in them. Every now and then there are no elevators available and have to take the stairs. Building is pretty old, it's expected for prewar.
Old but good enough
