When it was rent stabilized, it was a great place to live. As soon as they did away with that and hired a new manager, everything started falling a part. The only pros I can honestly say are the location and the apartment fixtures are pretty nice.

1) You think you're paying for Central AC all year long, you're not. It gets stuff off in the fall even though they advertise as having "Central AC". 2) You're forced to pay $50 for use of their "gym" which is a small room with a few pieces of broken equipment 3) Whatever your rent is, add about $200 extra each month for gas, boiler, and some other charges. (There's was no way for me to see if I was being overcharged. My bill was still high even when I was away for a month.) 4) Whatever your neighbors cook will come into your apartment through the vents. You'll also be able to hear what they're watching/listening to. 5) If you decide to resign your lease, expect a steep increase. 6) The only thing "luxury" about the Mantena is their prices. If you compare sq ft, amenities, and prices to other buildings in the area the Mantena is a ripoff. 7) When I vacated they told me what I owed and the date it was due. I paid it and they took $50 out of my security deposit for a late fee. Then they added extra RUBS charges and took that out of my security deposit as well. When I emailed them and asked them to clarify they ignored me. They didn't return my security deposit within 13 days either.
