Great building, ridiculous prices
Former Tenant
Pros:
I loved the building—beautiful exposed brick, good appliances, got tons of sun on the 5th floor, fun neighborhood. Exterminator came monthly, never any problem with bugs.
Cons:
Even on the top floor you hear a lot of street noise. The heating is also loud, but we quickly got used to both. We moved to the building in 2020, and the following year our rent doubled.
