Just renewed a second year and so far the experience has been unmatched. My roommates and I feel very lucky to be in a such a well run and fantastic building. After a terrible experience at a different building a few blocks away, Olympia has exceeded our expectations. Thank you Olympia! Specifically to David who helped us secure our apartment, and has always been there when we have needed anything since. The doorman and staff have also been great and management as well. Highly recommend this building to anyone looking for a fire spot in Midtown.

I have lived at Olympia House for the last 7 years and cannot say enough good things about both the building and staff. As a single girl in her 20s living alone in Manhattan, all of the staff made me feel extremely safe. The doormen would go out of their way to keep an eye on me when I would walk my dog late at night. The porters are great and the super and handyman are extremely responsive whenever any issues arise, even for a light bulb change. Management has been very accommodating with my lease from year to year. Location is great right by grand central making it easy to commute. I would highly recommend Olympia House to anyone looking to live in Manhattan. It was a pleasure living here.

I have lived here for two years and have absolutely loved it. The management staff is accommodating and all the doormen and porters are fantastic. Would not have wanted to live anywhere else for the past few years!!

I lived in Olympia House for 9 years. Really great ownership and staff. If something breaks, the staff come that day or early the very next day to fix any issue. Management is responsive, doormen are trustworthy and will do anything to keep you safe. Packages are always delivered and the building is well maintained. Would truly recommend the building to anyone looking to move to the midtown area.

At Olympia building you can find a welcoming and friendly environment, which starts with building management, the Super and his team of door-mans and porters, who always have a smile and are ready to help. My family and I lived three years at Olympia, and we never felt it as a temporary house, but a home for this three years. If you're looking for a well managed, central and cosy building, Olympia's the choice.

I have lived at Olympia House since 2019 and year over year the building, staff, and management have exceeded my expectations. I love my spacious and renovated apartment, and every time my friends come over they are amazed at the size of the bedrooms and our living space. The kitchen is newly renovated and it is the perfect size and layout for cooking, plus it looks chic, My neighbors are a unique mix of people that are all extremely kind and generous. The building staff is reliable and consistent, quickly fixing maintenance requests, and the doormen are a great safety feature and great people to greet me as I start or end my day. I was very impressed when the gym and outdoor space opened this year, the gym has everything you need to get a good workout in and the outdoor space has strong wifi for a change of scenery or a different workspace if you work from home. Additionally the location close to grand central is a game changer with the new LIRR stop there and easy access to every subway line. I also love being in this location because it’s extremely easy to get uptown, downtown, or to LGA, and if you are a runner or Walker there is easy access to the east side river path. Lastly, the building management are true professionals who care about their tenants. They are a pleasure to work with and are responsive and attentive.

My roommate and I moved into a one-bedroom flexed into a two-bedroom back in 2019, and have been here ever since. I can't say enough good things about this building. From the friendly 24/7 doormen always looking out for us, to the building's management (shout out to David/Alexa Hakim), as well as the maintenance crew - just a top notch staff all around. The building has great amenities - a brand new gym, outdoor terrace, laundry facilities - and is conveniently located in the heart of Midtown East. Anyone looking for a luxury building with fair market prices should consider Olympia House!

I recently concluded my delightful 1.5-year stay at Olympia House, and I can confidently say that it has been a truly positive experience. As a resident of their furnished studio apartment, I found the overall quality of living to be fantastic. The management and staff consistently demonstrated their commitment to creating a comfortable and welcoming environment. One standout aspect of Olympia House was the incredibly friendly and helpful doormen. Their warm greetings and attentive service always made me feel welcome and valued. Whether it was helping with packages, offering directions, or providing general assistance, they went above and beyond to ensure residents' needs were met. Additionally, I was thoroughly impressed with the promptness and efficiency of the maintenance team. Any issues or concerns I had were addressed swiftly and professionally, leaving no room for inconvenience. It was truly reassuring to know that the team was dedicated to maintaining the building's excellent condition and ensuring a hassle-free living experience. Overall, my time at Olympia House has been marked by comfort, convenience, and exceptional service. The furnished studio apartment provided a cozy living space, while the doormen and maintenance staff added a personal touch that made this place feel like home. I am genuinely grateful for the positive experience and would highly recommend Olympia House to anyone seeking a comfortable and well-maintained living space with outstanding staff support.
