    Friendly doorman, good facilities
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Doorman was very helpful and friendly
    Rooms were very spacious with big windows
    Bathroom was clean
    Cons:
    Kitchen was really small, with the stove squeezed into a corner
    Over 1 year ago
    Great place as a student, probably expensive for what it was
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Staff and security was top tier, safe neighbourhood, spacious rooms
    Cons:
    Amenities were a bit dated like the kitchen and bathroom. Also i didn't have a light in my room for some reason so I needed to bring lamps to light up the whole room

    Very great Apartment

    Guests need to be approved by the building.

    None

    Best Experience
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I loved living with all of my friends from school. The doormans (most) are super nice and they will help you out with anything.
    Cons:
    It is an old building and it needs some remodeling. Our apartment wasn’t renewed when we lived there.
    Advice to owner:
    Change the carpets.

    Excellent! Thanks NYU!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, helpful staff, overall well maintained
    Cons:
    Laundry room can be congested
    Over 2 years ago
    Good quality basic student housing
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Maintenance requests handled very promptly, surprisingly low noise levels given it’s student housing
    Cons:
    If you’re on the Manhattan side of the building it gets very hot causing the AC to leak from the ceiling resulting in moldy carpets. Terrible smells from neighbour’s apartments. Bathtub drainage is very poor and clogs up on a biweekly basis causing the water to rise to ankle height when showering

    Expensive but decent dorm
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close to school
    Cons:
    An educational institution charging international students the same rate as market rate when tuition is already so high, gives the impression that NYU is more a commercial landlord than a school
    Over 2 years ago
    Not worth it
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very close to NYU, comes furnished and has flexible lease terms (9 months instrad of full year)
    Cons:
    Management acts like they are doing you a favor for allowing you to live there. Apts are poorly maintained, air conditioning is not good (if over 85 degress outside, the apt won’t cool below 75F). Extremely expensive. Luxury building price for an outdated apt.
    Advice to owner:
    Listen to your residents! And for the love of god, update the apartments. It’s not the 1980s anymore.
