first nyc apartment
Pros
location location location! front desk and doormen are always so welcoming. apartments are spacious and modern. amenities are no extra charge- gym with sauna, home theatre, work area, pool tables, rooftop. some reviewers say the students run wild - this has not been my experience. every interaction has been respectful. i live on a higher floor so i do not hear any noise from their dorms which are only on one lower floor. tenants are primarily younger singles and couples and everyone is friendly.
Cons
laundry room can be a bit of a pain depending on time of day and could be better maintained.
Advice to the owners
n/a
Shame about the students being allowed to run wild
Pros
Great location! The unit was an okay size for the price. The staff onsite are great, although it's a shame there aren't more.
Cons
There are floors which are leased to students, which are treated like frat houses. Parties/smoking/drinking/noise are all common. Due to the way the ventilation in the building is setup, you end up getting noise (and smoke) from these units even if on different floors. Complaints about these parties fall on deaf ears and nothing changes. Plan on waiting for a while for the elevators. There aren't enough for the building and some are often down for maintainance.
