I loved it!
Pros
Incredible location, gorgeous lobby, friendly and helpful staff. Always felt safe. Hallways were renovated while I lived there. Never had an issue with bugs or pests. Beautiful views. The walls in the apartment are pretty much soundproof.
Cons
Living in an apartment on the F line (studios), the smoke detector was very close to the oven/stove (which I was told is how all the F apartments are set up) so it often went off if I was cooking. Sometimes had issues working the intercom to be able to buzz down to the doorman.
Paper thin walls + Weed Smoke
Pros
Friendly doormen and staff.
Cons
Old building and the smell of weed smoke was a daily occurrence. Building is “non-smoking” but this is far from the case and management will do NOTHING but send out an occasional email. I had to open my windows all year before my lease ended from 30 degree or below weather to 90+ days just to avoid my bedroom from filling with the neighbor’s smoke. I even went through the desperate measure of moving my entire bed from the bedroom to the living room. If you are neighbors with dogs/toddlers you will hear everything. No sleeping in whatsoever. For more than a year there was massive leaking from the upstair bathroom, mold, and a hole that maintenance would patch over that would then leak all over again. Door knob was old and loose and fell out into the hallway at one point.
