    Good and bad
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location is great, and my apartment has an incredible eastward view with nothing blocking it.
    Cons:
    The elevator and building are dirty. The laundry room used to be 24 hours but now you can only use it during a certain window. The worst part is that the management company is impossible to get a hold of. They are the worst.
    Advice to owner:
    Answer your phones and empty the voicemail boxes. It’s ridiculous that I can’t get a hold of you.
