Happy Resident 136 E55th

Pros

The doormen and staff are extremely courteous and helpful. It's the best part about living in the building. Common areas are clean and very well-maintained. Building itself is old, but apartments are roomy with tons of closet space that you will not find in newer constructions. Overall, very happy living here.
