Stuper is Amazing

The stuper does an amazing job keeping this place organized and well-kept. It is a bit pricey to live here- no fitness center, garden areas, or rooftop access-- but it's safe and in a great location. Everything you could possibly need is on this block. It really could not get any better. One thing though... there's no air conditioning! We remedied this situation with those DIY window air conditioners so all is well. Spacious apartment by New York standards! Rent is going up but management has been flexible and not putting us on the street.
