Plusses and minuses. Location is at convenient mid-point between Central Park and the East River. Grocery stores and pharmacies extremely close by. Carmen and the other doorman were extremely helpful and friendly. The unit is spacious with two king beds - very nice. Laundry handy right down the hallway. Negatives: We counted on using the pool and gym as advertised in building amenities - however these require memberships and were off limits to guests. This was quite disappointing as it was a key reason we chose this particular place. The bed sheets and linens were clean, but there were missing light bulbs or bulbs not working requiring me to make my own purchase. Light fixtures were not fully working - even after replacing bulbs. The wood floors were not cleaned properly - be sure to wear slippers. Communications with the Airbnb managers were inconsistent and slow as we made various requests. The remote controls for the TVs were missing batteries or with dead batteries - so I made my own purchase. The closets had extraneous light fixtures that should be removed as they take up space. For an upper east side monthly rental for this price, we would not return here.
