Cons

Very small units

Former tenant·3 months ago

Lovely place to live on the UWS

Pros

Doormen are absolutely incredible, landlord is very kind, living areas are spacious for the price and it’s very close to the red line express, and no noise problems.

Cons

Only issue is that the heat sometimes feels like it’s lacking in the winter, but not to an extreme degree.
