Average to pleasant experience
Pros
-my particular unit felt spacious and sunny -accepts pets -more or less responsive to issues -tried to up my rent and was able to negotiate for lower (still raised a bit tho), don't be scared to negotiate!!
Cons
-too cold in the winter, way too hot in the summer (bad insulation) -light sleepers will wake up frequently (esp in winter when all the pipes rattle) -tends to have pipe leaks and/or bursts -packages often get stolen -everything is pretty average for a high price, but hey it's manhattan so most apartments are bad with a high price
Advice to the owners
fix your heating system
great first apartment
Pros
responsive management great super nice location units vary but spacious 3br
Cons
packages get stolen often you cant control your own heat - so hot walk up building
Advice to the owners
better security for packages
