Management has gotten better
Pros
New management (J&M) did a much better job with pest control than the prior (we had a mouse problem and they were very unresponsive). Decent water pressure, nicely sized bedrooms, good natural light and location, portal payment was simple for rent.
Cons
The mice problems, very old kitchen with no updates, first management company would not fix a no-longer functional cabinet, walk-up building with very narrow stairs made moving difficult. Very very hot in the winters due to radiator heat and in the summer.
Advice to the owners
Continue spraying the ground floor, I think that made a big difference as far as the mice.
