    Grocery store three minutes away, great food nearby, and express trains at 125th for work. The super is friendly and responsive. I'd happily renew.

    Clean, modern one-bedroom in an old building, which is exactly what I was after. Recessed lighting is a nice touch. Would love a bit more closet space, but overall very happy.

    Moved in with my two cats and they took to the place right away. Leasing was quick and the building is spotless. The 2 and 3 at 135th are close by.

    Nice apartment and good management, but the top-floor walk-up gets old in winter. The package lockers do save me from hauling boxes up from the street door, at least.

    I love the block. Brownstones everywhere and a coffee shop a few minutes away. The two-bedroom has plenty of room and the afternoon light is wonderful.

    My studio is small but really well finished, and the glass shower makes the bathroom feel bigger. Virtual intercom works well for letting in friends. Laundry room is convenient.

    Renovation is top quality. Quartz counters, a real dishwasher and floors that look brand new. Having a super who lives in the building means small issues get fixed fast.
