Broker & Resident Comments

This "prime Midtown location" offers "spacious" apartments in a "well-maintained" doorman building that's garnered praise for its "exceptional" staff and "swift maintenance response." While the "fantastic" location near Times Square provides "unbeatable convenience" to transit and entertainment, some note it comes with "expected city noise." Building perks include "laundry on every floor" and a "pet-friendly atmosphere," while the "personal touch" of the doormen makes it feel like "home." Though "recently renovated units" shine, some older apartments "await updates." A solid choice for those prioritizing "location and service" over "perfect quiet."
