The apartment is fantastically located right by the157th 1 train and the 155 C. There are multiple restaurants, delis, and groceries within walking distance. I've never felt unsafe coming home. The rooms are well lit, top floor WITH an elevator. It is energy-efficient, which reduces the cost of utilities and the stove was replaced last year so is very new. There is also a nicely sized dishwasher. Laundry is in the basement of the building, and the ratio of machines to residents is very good for a NYC building. We're moving because one of us is going to grad school in another state, otherwise, we would have been happy to stay.
