Solid, unique, well-laid out building
Pros
Location is fantastic. One of the most vibrant blocks in Manhattan. At least for the upper units on the B side, great light. Layout with hallway between units gives relative isolation. Cleaner than your average LES walk-up building.
Cons
The apartments are relatively well insulated from each other, but my room faced Allen St and was quite loud with traffic, intercity bus stations, early morning loading, and a fire station around the corner on Canal.
