If you are a working individual - this place is horrible. if you are able to stay home all day for mail, doing anything with the management office or even any maintenence then you'll be fine. Let me explain. My windows were leaking so much water that it was half way across the room - I called maintenence at 5AM since they are 24 hours - he refused to come look to see where it was leaking from. That evening when I got home, the nice maintenence guy did me a favor and tried to patch up where the water could have been coming from. Again - it leaked and again the maintenence guy refused to come see it and told me to call back monday morning. I don't know about you but I can't take a day off to let maintenence do THEIR JOB. Another story - I had ordered a AC adapter for my laptop and no one left a notice in my mailbox. I went to the post office because via internet - it said that they had tried to deliver it. In the end, I had to wait until I could catch the mailman so that he could get it out the of property's mailroom. The management office is only open for 4 hours a day and that is with a lunch break in between. They refuse to help you with things that you need without doing them in person. They are rude and unhelpful. This is a ridiculous place to live for people who have lives outside of being home all day.

There is also terrible access to the subway system and is in a pretty not nice area. I would not recommend this area especially this apartment building to anyone ever again.
