    Quite good experience
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is clean and the superintendent is responsive. I never had a problem with bugs or pests in my unit.
    Cons:
    We had a radiator that just didn't work, spotted rats in garbage/laundry area a few times

    Great location for train and universities
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is good, super is onsite and fairly responsive, never had package problems, neighbors in building (especially those who have been around many years) are super nice and friendly. Elevator building and it typically works
    Cons:
    There’s a decent amount of construction in the area which probably contributed to our cockroach problem in 2021/2022. Landlord makes substantial increases in rent each year.
    Advice to owner:
    Don’t raise rent so high in one year
