    Never rent here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Central Location but Quiet
    Cons:
    The building is disgusting. Tons of roaches (dead or alive) in the entrance or stairs. The garbage is stored inside the building and so many restaurants are nearby, attracting all kind of pest. In a few weeks living there, I had roaches (huge ones) and mice. The apartment was poorly maintained allowing pest to enter through holes and pipes. Terrible and traumatic experience. Kenny, the super was nice and understanding. The Management was understanding as well but they rented the apartment just a week after I left, so it clearly did not allow time for them to do the needed renovations and show they don't care about tenants.

    Well managed building

    Management is great. Extremely professional, quick to reply.

    Nighmare worst experience
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Decent location, liked checkered floors
    Cons:
    Had hundreds of flies come from my drains
    Had over 20 huge cockroaches and other bugs
    Rats and living in stove, under sinks, peeing and pooping everywhere, biting my cords
    Management company was the worst I ever experienced. Completely violated my rights, wouldn’t take any responsibility or do anything to help the situation. They are crooks. DO NOT rent one of their properties. Stove and oven also didn’t turn on for first two months, they were no help in resolving this.
    Advice to owner:
    Do your job and treat tenants with basic decency.
