The apartment was fine, it is large and was very clean. The neighborhood is fantastic, with a lot of bars and restaurants within walking distance, and the apartment is easy access to everywhere else in NYC thanks to the underground stop located just outside the building. The building is nice and the building staff are lovely and helpful.
The apartment is a bit dated however. The air conditioning units do not work properly throughout the apartment and it became quite uncomfortable at times because it was very hot in NYC when we were staying there. Someone from the building did come to try to fix the issue, but basically told us that the units were old and that there was not much they could do.
The rooms overlooking the courtyard were sheltered from street noises but the one on the street was very noisy early mornings due to the deliveries to CVS in the street below. Because of the building’s age and lack of insulation we could also hear the neighbors above (although they were not terribly noisy).
The kitchen had everything needed to cook and eat with good quality appliances. Our apartment did not have a washer and dryer but they are available on every floor and are easy to use.
