The building is very old and our unit D2 had a lot of idiosyncrasies that were peculiar to our unit. The shower was set at an angle so that the spray came out parallel to the wall. One is unable to use more than one appliance at a time due to electrical issues. I think because of the age of the unit and the idiosyncrasies, it was not a very good value. We were instructed not to turn the handle on the front door or one could lock oneself in the unit. One had to pull the chain for the lights gently and at a particular angle to turn the light on and off. Our television could not get NBC. For the price we paid I thought we'd get a little better unit that did not have the peculiarities that it had. The good: (1) great neighborhood; (2) near the subway station; (3) great eating in the area close by and easily within walking distance; (4) Sen was a great host (good communication skills, responsive, readily available if needed, nice guy). The bad: (1) one can hear the trains on the track very easily and they run all the time; (2) old building (>100 years old) and all of the problems of a very old building; (3) shower too small and if you are taller than 66 inches or weigh more than 150# you will not fit.
