    Not coming back to EV because of this apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I can't think of much. Although I lived on a somewhat busy street, I did not hear any noises from the outside.
    Cons:
    From the top of my head:
    - super took weeks to respond to our complaint (a lightbulb needed to be replaced)
    -no windows in some bedrooms
    -small space (bedrooms were very small)
    -bad AC (some rooms didn't have AC; my room had AC but was unusable because of dirty black stuff coming out when using AC)
    -poor ventilation
    -old building
    -lot of pests like cockroaches and flies
    -only 2 laundry units
    -throwing out the garbage was disgusting
    Advice to owner:
    Respond to complaints/requests faster

    Generally good experience
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super is responsive, water pressure and temperature is good, generally good management of trash and stairwell areas
    Cons:
    Some package theft issues with the lobby, the dryers don't work super well, and we've seen 3 roaches in our 2 years here, which isn't horrible but not ideal
