The only reason I didn’t rate this a 1 was because of its location. Bertie is a nice person and he helped me when I found cockroaches on numerous occasions (he notified the exterminator). The internet connection was terrible - I am a student at Columbia and was not able to work in the apartment for the five months that I stayed here because the Wi-Fi was so bad. I had to go to campus to use the library’s internet. Unacceptable for the price of this place. Also, the washer and dryer ate my quarters on several occasions and didn’t work properly. I had to go to a laundromat. Again - unacceptable for the money I paid for my stay. The noise level is very very loud throughout the day/night - the apartment is right near the outside buzzer, which sounds like an alarm and goes off at all hours of the day. Other tenants in the building have dogs - untrained - in the apartment next door that bark all of the time, at any time of day. The one redeeming quality of this apartment is its location. Great location. It’s not nearly worth the price charged for rent, however. I would not stay here again.
