Great location - close to some awesome foodie spots and the numerous LES bars without too much disturbance at night. The space is nice and fairly open, especially with the windows. Residents themselves are very quiet and mostly families. Heat is building-maintained so it's always warm; just pop a window open if it gets too stuffy.

However, make sure you like cats (in the sense that you will be interacting with one, not just looking at it)! Smeagol is very affectionate and will want to be played with/picked up. If the thought of a cat brushing up against you freaks you out, then this is not an ideal apartment for you. Just remember to hang your wool coats out of reach and tuck your suitcases in the bedroom if you don't want cat hair on them.
