Gen is one of the kindest women I’ve ever known. I stayed for 4 months for my last semester of school, and she made me feel so at home. The apartment is at a great location on the corner of the 1 and by the C. She regularly cleaned the common spaces and was always quick to reply. I had many roommates throughout my stay but it was fun to meet so many people from all over the world. You are also able to lock your room whenever you leave which is nice for privacy. Gen and her daughter would stop by frequently and they are so fun and inviting. Gen even celebrated with me when I graduated college, and was so sweet to me. Overall the space is great if you need a basic short term furnished place that is in manhattan and easy to get around the rest of the city. The building is older and has some of the usual issues that come with that, but that is to be expected in the city. Would absolutely stay again, Gen is amazing!
