Pros: super took good care of garbage Cons: everything was bandaids, duct tape, and just paint over everything instead of fixing it and communication was iffy. Advice to landlord: you charge too much for your propertie…

Inwood

Inwood sits at Manhattan's northern tip where the Hudson and Harlem Rivers meet. Inwood Hill Park's old-growth forest is the last natural woodland on the island, and the neighborhood's Irish and Dominican roots create a unique cultural blend. It feels more like a small town than Manhattan.
