Better than expected. NYC is known for old run down dirty apartments. I expected to be a bit grossed out as I knew the apartment was older from the pics and having lived in NYC before. To my surprise the apartment while old was kept very clean. I did not feel grossed out using the one bathroom shared by 5 rooms as it was kept very clean. I felt comfortable here as well and people were respectful. Only complain is the 30th ave stop was closed due to construction, otherwise the location is pretty prime.
