    Fair walkup Apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cheap, nice sunlight
    Cons:
    No elevator, laundry machine too loud
    Over 2 years ago
    Alright as long as no maintenance needs come up
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Pretty new and renovated finishes and appliances (including in-unit washer/dryers)
    - Lots of kitchen counter space
    - Reasonable rent when split with roommates
    - Convenient location near park and subway
    Cons:
    - Small living/common areas, probably because the apartments were split into more bedrooms than originally constructed
    - Poor trash management (shared with neighboring building) that is often overflowing and unclearly labeled between recycling and trash. Attracts a lot of rats at night, and rats have even gotten into the walls/building.
    - Unresponsive maintenance and management. Very delayed providing move-in information, the (off-site) super can be hard to reach, maintenance problems reported on the portal take a long time to get a response until you make a city complaint - and then they will bother you to close the complaint before they even address it. Though our building's manager changed recently so I hope this will improve.
    Advice to owner:
    Would be a good apartment if the management was just on top of things. I heard that the super lives downtown and has multiple buildings to take care of so they could start by hiring more maintenance to make sure issues are resolved more quickly and thoroughly.
