    lived here for a year, not too bad
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    super was responsive, convenient location close to Columbia.
    Cons:
    no central heating, there were electric radiators installed so the electricity bill in the winters were high

    also the stairs smelled bad, kind of like garbage and old homes, but the apartment smelled fine

    there was laundry in unit, but it was a washer and dryer in one and it didn't fully dry the clothes. Also it kept breaking down because the filter was clogged or something, people came to fix it but it would break within a week
