I liked the author's introduction, it both summed up what the story was about, and was a nice way to hook the unwitting to continue reading--who isn't drawn to stories of sex and scandal? She did a good job in presenting all aspects of the all-female residence; from describing its allure by noting its 1920's feel and naming former famous inhabitants, to pointing out their necessity and practicality--relatively cheap rent-- in twenty-first century New York City.

I really liked how she used direct quotes from the variety of women there, and describing the different walks of life that brought them there. Her description of the small communities in their bustling morning routines, their quieter evenings in, really put me there. The article was effective.
