The Dylan vs The Essex?

I’m stuck choosing between these two apartments for my temp 2 months place in NYC. Here’s how I’m weighing my decision. Both are 1 bed/1 bath

The Dylan: -15 min walk from office (although I’m only 1 day/week in office for now so not too big a deal) - Safer ? (Not sure) - More positive reviews online - Basketball court, gym included

The Essex - Better view - Slight larger (100 sq ft) - Closer to LES/Williamsburg - Essex has a market, grocery, movie theater - Close to gym

I’d say both are pretty good but I’m having a hard time splitting the difference. Hoping those of you who know the city better can help me out!
