Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Clean and very conveniently located

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.

Nice apartment with some problems

Our apt newly renovated. Nice bathrooms and common spaces. Relatively clean building.

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.
