This is a realistic NY experience. That means that it's an old building with creaky floors and urban living where things are loud, there are funky smells that drift in and out, and the water temperature doesn't stay consistent when you shower. But there is nothing you can do about that. And is part of the overall experience, which I wouldn't trade for anything.
Spacious two bedroom place that you just don't find very often in the city. Would definitely go back.
