Pros: this is a fabulous location. This is a fabulous location--it was worth repeating. But lower your expectations of being in a brownstone on Central Park. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Easy access to subway. Easy walk to Central Park. Easy access to great breakfast, coffee, lunch, dinner. Good water pressure. Hot shower even after 3 people. No bugs!! If you dont mind revisiting your first college apartment, the one your could afford because it was old and in disrepair, then you will be fine here.
Cons: this is a very, very old and used apartment. Old, very noisy heating system that woke us up randomly several times per night. Stiflingly hot in one room, 65 degrees in the other. Cleaning service that is not taking care of simple things like wiping grime off doors. Paint in poor repair. Old linens, one towel each, no washcloths, no bathmat, no hand towels, no kitchen towels. Know what you are getting. Did I mention the location is fabulous?
