Buyer beware. The building is a bit grungy. I had to sweep the hallway myself. There were roaches in the kitchen and bath. The bath lighting needs cleaning out of dead bugs and the corners of the entire apartment need attention. The mattresses and pillows were stained, some of the comforters were stained. The toilet ran and made hissing noises, which we reported. We were told to turn the water off to it! The lights in the hall were not working, but the manager had a standing lamp there which worked. The kitchen needs more lighting. The dryer was broken, some weird rule about contacting the manager to unlock the washer. I asked for clean linens and towels after one week of a two week stay. I was told they would cost $120, but that I could wash the 4 bedrooms worth of linens and towels and hang them to dry. Ha. The area is so so, but it served our needs for having 4 bedrooms and being on the Upper West Side. It could be so much better.
