Nice units, great for students, not many complaints
Former Tenant
Pros:
I lived in a flex 2BR— so two large bedrooms and no living room. Great for me and my roommate who were undergraduates. It’s not very noisy, heat works, good water pressure in shower.
Cons:
There was a slight roach issue during the summer, I needed to put out my own bait to get rid of them. The elevator periodically stops working, which could be bad if you’re on a higher floor. The super can be a bit hard to reach, but he eventually will address your concerns.

Pros:
Close to 123 subway. Live-in super takes care of repairs/maintenance.
Cons:
Bad management, noisy street, elevators break down from time to time
