Quiet, great location, just kind of an old building
Pros
This block is mostly residential so it's pretty quiet despite being in the heart of East Village. My apartment is also inward facing so another reason why it's quiet. My bedroom gets a lot of sunlight but my roommate's room and the living room don't get any sunlight at all. Water pressure is awesome for the shower. Supers that manage the building are responsive and helpful for the most part. Management is another story.
Cons
Some rooms don't get any sunlight so it feels pretty dark. Management controls when the radiators turn on and off and it's usually off but sometimes on for a short period of time so it gets pretty cold during the winter. I would suggest buying your own electric heater. Management can be pretty hard to reach at times without contacting them multiple times. I've seen cockroaches when I first moved in but I think my cats scared the rest of them away. But it's an old building so whatever.
Good, nice building
Pros
Nice building, good staff, quick repairs
Cons
Terrace often closed
