Nice building, great staff
Pros
Super friendly doormen and porters. Right above the subway, close to Whole Foods. Gym is well maintained, though a bit small
Cons
Studio apartments are not well insulated because of the giant bay windows - cold in winter, hot in summer. There's a hospital, a police station, and two fire stations within a 10 block radius so there can be a lot of sirens, especially at night.
Disappointing experience
Pros
Modern building, Green building, Gym
Cons
Brokers and landlords are not being upfront about the vibration issues caused by the 14th street subway which runs right under the building. The apartment I lived in constantly vibrated every time the subway ran (approx. every 15 minutes). The first few months living there literally brought me to insanity. I tried everything (noise machines, earplugs, etc) and nothing worked. When you pay over $9500/month+ to live in a building, this is the last thing you would expect.
Advice to the owners
Be upfront about the subway noise and vibrations.
