    Love my home
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The best water pressure ever! Shower is amazing
    Cons:
    25th Street can be busy,.as there is an exit off the JFK. On the flip side, it is easy to get too.
    Advice to owner:
    Thank you!

    Unprofessional, rude, never gave us our papers
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    affordable rent during the rent spike
    Included water and heat
    Cons:
    Horrible floors (my bed is crooked because they failed to let us know the floor is broken and we didn't notice because the broker was rushing us out the apartment.)
    Didn't properly clean stuff when we initially moved in.
    People steal packages for some reason here but not sure if it's residents or random people.
    Horrible lighting and too small.
    Heater never turns on when it's freezing.
    Small appliances.
    No room to store anything.
    Not the apartment's issue but very rude broker that barely showed us the place and pressured and took advantage of us into the lease because we were rushing before school started.
    Advice to owner:
    Get better super and brokers. Fix the FLOORS. My bed literally rocks because the legs don't sit even.
