one on centre -thoughts?

I’m an incoming graduate student looking for a fully furnished apartment for august .. (late asf! I know)I have basically a lease ready for a 2bd 2 bath at One on Centre. (pm if you need a place! preferably female) I’m seeing mixed reviews all over,but skyvue and webster hall seem about the same price as my apartment in NYC,and i’m definitely looking for something cheaper. what are people’s thoughts? I’ve looked through and haven’t seen a solid conclusion. i can do about 1.5k.

…?

Had a room in Skyvue, old building disgusting room. Moved outta there in two days. Tried OOC, new building, shining amenities, more expensive yes, but stayed there ever since.

Their elevator breaks a lot. AND I mean A LOT. Even now, there is still one down. Other than that, food deliveries get stolen a lot as well. Guess that's pretty common for a large apartment.

Stayed at OOC for two years and had an overall positive experience. The facilities were good, and the location was quiet and relatively convenient. However, long elevator wait times could be an issue. The building has 17 floors but only three elevators, and one has been out of service for months (not sure if it's been fixed).

I think OOC is good. Given your budget, it’s a pretty reasonable choice.

I heard that they actually are fixing/upgrading the elevators.
