    Clean and very conveniently located
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Clean lobby, responsive super
    Cons:
    Did not have gas or access to the laundry for 5 months. Was delayed in providing electrical burners, and slow to communicate updates. Will be replacing gas stoves with electrical stoves but who knows how long that'll take.
    Advice to owner:
    Communicate better with tenants

    Nice apartment with some problems
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Our apt newly renovated. Nice bathrooms and common spaces. Relatively clean building.
    Cons:
    Issue with some apts and bedbug management. Is better now. Noisy area. Management sometimes took a while to get back to us, and less receptive to requests.
