Ellen's a great, warm person who will become a friend. It's unfortunate that the room needs a lot of your own climate control. The room is the hottest room in the apartment in the summer, and the coldest (thanks to drafty windows and floors) in the winter. We fixed the bed before I left so it's now extremely sturdy, and the bathroom has new tiles, but the construction work was incredibly obtrusive. However this was just during my stay and not likely to happen again soon.

On the whole, because this is an old building and apartment, expect plenty of glitches. Light bulbs burned out pretty often - I remember changing at least 4 lights in the apartment during my stay. The water in the shower is tepid at best because the super can't make up his mind whether to turn the boiler on or off.

If all that works for you, the location can't be beat. Close to the 1 train on the Upper West Side, the building is located in a beautiful, serene neighborhood that is easy to get to. Doormen are friendly and helpful and the basement laundry room is lovely.

Ellen is also a great person, and has her own quirks but who doesn't have them? She's very accommodating and great at communicating. Just let her know about anything that bothers you and she will work to fix it.

Thank you Cherlynn, I appreciate the feedback as I am always happy to further enhance people's experience at the apartment. The building is a well-maintained, prewar-landmark, co-op building. The air conditioner was new, I was unaware that you had issue with the air conditioning and as soon as you informed me, that it was too hot in your room I had someone come and repair it, and now it is in perfect running condition.

I am surprised to hear that you said that it was cold in the winter, because generally, the apartment is over-heated. The windows are double-paned, high quality windows. I can only assume that the draft was coming from the air conditioner and have now decided to remove the air conditioner for the winter months to avoid this issue in the future.

I have never had issues with the light bulbs before, but I will happily purchase long-lasting light bulbs from now on. There was an issue with the shower, but after you called the super, he notified the co-op board and they put in a brand new shower.

I wish you would have informed me about any issues you had earlier on so that I could have made changes to better your stay.

The apartment building is nice but the apartment itself is in poor condition i.e. peeling paint, broken furniture, moldy bathroom. The kitchen is poorly equipped and I wasn't able to do any cooking.

Please note there is no living area and you will have be very quiet/out of the apartment during the weekday as the roommate uses the apartment as a medical office.

The doormen also lost a valuable package and did nothing about it.

As I live in the apartment I take great pains to have a clean, stylish and inviting home. I am surprised to learn this roommates misgivings. In Carmen 5-month stay, none of this was mentioned. For two years, I have been happily renting to roommates who shared their friendship as well as their positive reactions. Some have cooked daily in the large, well-equipped kitchen.

I did a thorough check and found no mold or broken furniture. As in most pre-war overheated Upper West Side buildings, there are some places on the crown molding that are cracking. As a psychotherapist I see fewer than 10 people per week in my home/office. I encourage roommates to feel that we are sharing the entire apartment. Even decorating changes are welcome! Also, most weekends I am out of town.

I am on excellent terms with the doormen, who are all very helpful and attentive. I have never before or since had any problems with missing packages.
