Optimal location, affordable price, and friendly neighbors!
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartment building is very clean; staff clean the hallways and common spaces at least twice a day. I haven't had any issues with bugs or rodents, which is a huge plus in NYC. The building is also within a ten-minute walk to the C, 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains, and the commute to central Manhattan is only about thirty minutes. You don't have to travel far though as there are plenty of restaurants, stores, and bars nearby.
Cons:
The mail room is chaotic. All packages go to a small, closet-like room, which the entire building has to share. The room is often occupied and messy, and packages can easily get lost or stolen.
Advice to owner:
Consider using an Amazon pick up location.

Super is great and responsive; common spaces kept pretty clean; regular pest control
Cons:
Mailroom is an organizational mess; elevators are slow and rickety; can’t control heat in winter.
