Its what you expect...

Pros

The biggest pro is that its cheap!

Cons

Cleanliness is definitely an issue.

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Beautiful apartment, decent building

Pros

Management was very responsive, and polite.

Cons

The street is very loud on summer nights. It's also a very old building, so the windows weren't that tight in the frames. This was an issue for safety and temperature.

Advice to the owners

The windows need repairing. Also the apartment was filthy when I moved in.
