Great landlord, awful super
Pros
Laundry in the building, and the location is great for eating out and going out
Cons
The super will ignore you, even if you’re having an urgent issue. The common areas are barely cleaned. Because it’s an old walk up, you will encounter a mouse every so often.
Advice to the owners
Make the super do their job
A nice small 2 bedroom apartment
Pros
Close to all good cafe, restaurants and bars in East Village; nice and quiet neighborhood; small but cozy size apartment.
Cons
Appliances, floors and other finishes are old and scratched. Windows were not working well. Had met a mouse once and several cockroaches. Washer in the building is quite old and cannot clean clothes sufficiently. The landlord is reasonable, responsive but not friendly and hard to talk to. He deducted $200 from security deposit for cleaning which is not reasonable and did not return $100 key deposit when the lease ends.
Advice to the owners
Be more transparent on the money issue. Be more friendly and communicative.
