Great neighborhood, pretty responsive management
Pros
Great neighborhood, pretty responsive management. Relatively affordable.
Cons
Area itself can be loud, especially on holidays. Some bug problems in warmer weather. However, there’s a monthly exterminator.
Good for setting NYC expectations as a first Manhattan apartment
Pros
Nice finishes in the apartment and loved that some of the prewar detail was kept up. Heat worked well. Loved the smell of the fabuloso in the halls at least once a week.
Cons
Water pressure depending on time of day was terrible or just stopped completely (couldn’t rinse my hair in the shower a few times), I also took several cold showers during the winter, you could just push through the front door sometimes instead of needing the fob, it was loud, we had a few mice in the apartment (at least two),
Advice to the owners
Plug the holes in the apartments better, dishwashers would save you money on the water bill
