Reviews

Former tenant·just now

good for now

Pros

good location, good size, laundry

Cons

we had a gas leak, the old super was awful, we’d lose heat and water a lot in the winter.

Advice to the owners

the current super is much better than the last one

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Amazing location outweighs cons of apartment

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.
