AnhTest Cozy Upper East Side Spot with Basic Amenities
Pros
The building is situated in the heart of the Upper East Side, a neighborhood known for its quiet, residential charm and close proximity to Central Park and the East River. Public transportation is convenient, with the Q and 6 trains nearby, making it easy to commute to other parts of Manhattan. Apartments are reasonably priced for the area, making this a more affordable option on the Upper East Side while still offering decent space. The neighborhood is filled with cafes, grocery stores, and boutiques, giving residents easy access to everything they need within walking distance. The building has a classic New York charm, with pre-war details in many units, such as high ceilings and hardwood floors.
Cons
The building is older and lacks amenities like a gym, elevator, or on-site laundry, which may be inconvenient for those used to more full-service buildings. Noise from the street can be an issue, particularly for lower-floor units, as the area gets busy during peak hours. Some apartments have older appliances and fixtures that could benefit from updates to improve overall comfort.
Nice, quiet location; unresponsive super
Pros
Loved the location and even the top floors aren’t that many steps compared to some other walkup buildings in Manhattan. Pretty quiet and respectful neighbors
Cons
Super is unresponsive unless you email/text/call many times. My unit needed multiple repairs and on average it would take 5-10 texts to get in touch. One time I hired someone from TaskRabbit to do minor repairs for me out of frustration. Unit was pretty outdated and priced exorbitantly for what you get, but again amazing and convenient location
