Well managed apartment
Former Tenant

Cons:
Sometimes traffic for the elevators

Great building, quiet, convenient
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building was very well maintained. Water pressure is SOOO GOOD! Triple mirrors in the bathroom. The 1B living rom is quite spacious for the location and price. Get good direct sunlight. Surprisingly very QUIET! Could not hear my neighbors at all from the apartment. The doormen are very nice. I feel welcomed here.
Cons:
No in-unit laundry for the price. In-building laundry was fine too, pretty clean. Wish there are more amenities, especially for the price. Neighborhood feels very corporate. Grand central can be a bit chaotic to pass through every day. But the buildings nearby are very nice and I do like the view from my apartment.
Advice to owner:
Lower the rent

Management doesn't do much
Former Tenant
Pros:
Clean building, spacious apartments, somewhat updated, maintenance responds to most requests, nice doormen, laundry room is big, really cool roof
Cons:
Noisy neighbor and management company does nothing, extra charge for the gym, building increased rent but cut staff, not a non-smoking building so cigarette/cigar/weed smoke smell in hallways and rooms

Fantastic building in the heart of midtown
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very responsive management. Maintenance comes very quickly after reporting an issue in the app, sometimes even immediately. Amazing doormen that learn everyone's names very quickly, and they are very aware of who lives in the building and who does not. The gym and other amenities are great. The street is quieter than I thought it would be living in midtown, and is very quiet on weekends.
Cons:
Expensive rent. Increased gym fee.

Great building — Highly recommend

I loved at the Metropolis for more than 10 years. Great building, great staff, phenomenal doormen who have been there many years. I had a high apartment and had very little street noise. I did not hear my neighbors. Very large gym with golf simulator. Very convenient for a midtown building.

Occasionally there were issues with elevator service / repair. Not a huge problem.
