Reviews of 108 Ellwood Street

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

I was fairly comfortable here… but there’s a lot of room for improvement.

Pros

Street noise isn’t too terrible from the top floor. Really only hear music in the summertime, otherwise it’s quiet. Beautiful, big sunny apartment. Lots of families in the building. The super is kind.

Cons

The trash disposal area is a hazard. You have to go down some very old rickety steps that are often littered with garbage to access the bins. Lots of rats in the alley. The stairwell inside the building hardly ever gets properly cleaned. The street noise is considerable, especially for apartments that are lower and street facing. Building management is unresponsive. My apartment had leaks that never got fixed despite multiple requests.
