    Would recommend
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is well kept and the staff is wonderful, friendly, and attentive. There is an app for the building which is helpful and you can post to a bulletin board to other residents. There’s also grocery delivery service that’s free.
    Cons:
    One elevator was out of service for like 5/6 months which was super inconvenient.
    Advice to owner:
    Keep it up

    Love it here!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Awesome staff, clean, laundry room is large and works, big spacious apartments with great appliances!
    Cons:
    Midtown not an ideal location but so close to the subway it barely matters. Also Elevator issues… 30 story building and both elevators were down the 3 days I needed to move in before starting my job.. not ideal and happened several times more over the two years I lived there.

    Beautiful building & great experience living there
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Everything! Great staff, beautiful rooms, very convenient and upscale location. Location was extremely safe back when I lived there I can’t speak for what is going on now with the nearby homeless shelters and released prisoners. Great sunlight and the building is smoke-free!
    Cons:
    No roofdeck. Other than that, it was perfect!
    Advice to owner:
    Add a roofdeck!

    Nice doormen and neighbors
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The doormen are wonderful and very helpful. I like my neighbors and generally the building is clean
    Cons:
    The rent portal is awful and hard to use. Definitely slightly overpriced for how old the building is. Ac units are OLD.
