    Amazing location outweighs cons of apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location is great, with Trader Joe’s and Target just a few blocks west AND east. Apartment was on ground floor but quiet. Has high ceilings so made space feeler bigger than it was.
    Cons:
    Appliances were quite old and management can take awhile to respond to maintenance requests. Front door buzzer is broken 75% of the time. Building generally is older.

    Ok
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Conveniently located. Neutral about management—I haven’t needed to contact them, and they haven’t bothered me either. Moderately clean for a walk up building, I haven’t had any issues with pests. Pretty quiet, other than the 2 times a year the building behind this one has a college patio party.
    Cons:
    The walls are decently soundproof but the floor/ceilings aren’t. Very obvious and annoying to be able to hear what the upstairs neighbours are doing. The building has a package theft problem, pretty consistently. Kitchen doesn’t have a range top so you can’t cook much without the whole apartment getting smelly/smoky.
