Great value
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartment is conveniently located just 2 blocks from Central Park and 2 blocks from Broadway. It is on a nice quiet street with easy access to restaurants, shopping, and all your daily needs. An added perk for students is that it is only a 10 minute walk from the Columbia campus.
Cons:
No major cons.
Advice to owner:
None. I have no advice.

Rats in your walls
Former Tenant
Pros:
Conveniently located near Central Park and a bus on every avenue near you. Subways lines two blocks away in both directions. 24 hour deli in the neighborhood that delivers.
Cons:
Walk up building, stairs are particularly difficult. Apartments aren’t the biggest. You can hear the rats running through the walls at night. Some bedrooms don’t have heaters. Young tenants running in and out of building selling and using drugs. Young tenants also hand out in the hallways at all times of the night.
Advice to owner:
Pay attention at night. In the day you guys have it down pact. At night it is an entire different scene. Do something about the rats. Start giving heat and hot water always.
