Worth it ? Depends
Former Tenant
Pros:
They are very attentive to the cleanliness of the building. Apartment was renovated and cleaned before move in.
Cons:
Paint all over the floors when moving in. Seems like they didn’t put a tarp down before painting. Noise level is LOUD but to be expected being right next to the GWB. Management seems old so not the best attitudes on the phone or best help but not the worst. Reaching out to the rent department is actually dreadful, it’s only one lady and she never picks up. LAUNDRY IS EXPENSIVEEEE. $3.75 for washer and $2 for 30 minutes in the dryer and .25c for every 4 minutes added and who puts their clothes for only 30 minutes to dry…
Advice to owner:
Have a better system to reach out about rent. Seems like Eva is never available.
