This is an amazing building to live. The building is very well. The lights in the loby are really cool and the people in reception are really nice people. It's really good that the building have 3 entrance directly to the loby. The first it is a rotary door. The second is a normal door, you push it and that is all. The third one is really nice of you have a pet. Its a grey door that you need to enter a code to open it. It's really nice for dogs. It's location is really well, you're in front of a CV'S pharmacy, that's really good for an emergency. There's a Market a side, where you can buy every tipe of food. There's coffe, sweet bread for the morning, etc. there's a lot of things, inclusive for making your Market Shopping. The gym is really cool. There's a lot of variety of machines you can use to exercise your body. Also there's a swimming pool and jacuzzi, basketball court, boxing court, showers and steam. The elevator goes down and up really fast. It sight is really nice in the night. All the NYC lights. Etc... Is an excellent building to live...
Horrible building. Carbon monoxide comes in to the apartment...after many calls and neglect to address the problem...I called the fire department and found unacceptable level of carbon monoxide in my building
This is an amazing building to live in. The biggest draw for me is the Mercedes Club gym being connected to the building. It has an excellent indoor heated swimming pool. The outdoor pool is very popular in the summer. The common areas with free WIFI are really nice and I've worked remote from there by the fireplace or the huge flat screen TV. The juice bar is really convenient. They've just opened a market connected to the building. The lobbies are really nice and artistic. The individual apartments have great appliances. Washer/Dryer in unit I've taken for granted outside of NYC but it's a luxury here. Most views are really nice, and anything facing west into the Hudson is great. This building is expensive, you will easily pay a 10-20% premium on rent, but completely worth it in my opinion. What you get back is so much more. Also, it's a quiet area which is kind of nice, and Clinton park with people playing softball and intramural league sports year round is great. Highly recommend living in this building for Hells Kitchen.
Mercedes House is truly the worst apartment I've ever lived in. Don't be fooled by its great looks. Although the building, apartments and gym are all gorgeous, looks are deceiving and you should avoid this nightmare at all costs. Overall, the walls are paper thin, many things break and Mercedes House / Two Trees management is obnoxious, dishonest and incompetent. The Director of Residential Leasing Ashley Wirkus is the single most incompetent and vindictive person I've ever dealt with. Avoid at all costs!
I love this building! It is in one of the best locations in Manhattan because it's very close heart of Manhattan, yet you have the peace and quiet due to its proximity. I never seen anything like the Amenity space this building anywhere in the city. The only downer is that it is costly, but I had a great broker and he was able to get me 2 months free. I'm happy!
