    Johnny was great, the apartment itself sucked
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Responsive landlord, close to central park
    Cons:
    tiny overpriced apartment, cockroaches and mice, no laundry in unit
    Over 1 year ago
    High price for nothing special
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    quiet, friendly neighbors, relatively nice location, landlord was very responsive, chill, and fair
    Cons:
    dirty, the locks to the front door didn't work half the time, mouse problems year round, almost no kitchen space, no water pressure
    Over 2 years ago
    I wish the landlord would’ve taken care of the MAJOR mouse issue the whole year
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    great neighbors, small but sweet, nice location, nice room size
    Cons:
    Mouse in my bed and cereal bowl and cabinet, I paid for an exterminator myself but the problem is in the walls of the building so didn’t help, landlord is manipulative.
    Advice to owner:
    You probably should fix the mouse issue because it’s your responsibility to the lease. I could sue if this ever comes back up because I have infinite document of violations.
