    Expensive but Good
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Clean and well maintained, responsive management and good location
    Cons:
    Thin walls and definitely feels like a college dorm. Good for young adults but may not be the best fit for anyone in their mid twenties or older.

    Found Study Review
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Get to live in the heart of Manhattan, just a few blocks away from time square, and there’s so many places to try out around you.
    Cons:
    Management sucks. There’s mold all over the rooms, and they refuse to fix this issue, the elevators take forever to get to your floor and they always shut down, the people and just general area is very noisy, and just overall it’s a good 3/5 stars. I’ve even gotten sick multiple times because of the mold on the showers, walls, etc.
    Advice to owner:
    Listen to your tenants.
