    Clean and new
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    My apartment was newly renovated when I moved in. The lobby area was always clean.
    Cons:
    Although it was a nice apartment, I do think some units are overvalued and overpriced for the size (at least for my apartment in hindsight).
    Advice to owner:
    None

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, decent tenants
    Cons:
    Front door lock is broken and packages get stolen, heat often doesn’t work in the winter, mice, roaches, super doesn’t show up to fix things, someone keeps taking the trash room door code off the door so trash gets piled into the lobby
