Major Pest Problem
Former Tenant
Pros:
Easy to get to, cute location, decent apartment, decent space.
Cons:
Bugs. Were. Everywhere.
On every wall that connected to another apartment, there were an unreasonable amount of bugs. We did not feel comfortable cooking in our kitchen, and barely even felt comfortable to shower/bathe.
To have the amount of space we did (which was about 1000 sq ft for a 3 bd 2 ba) the walls were literally an inch and a half thick. The walls where there were windows were just drywall on top of the brick (you can't hang anything up). There is literally zero light in any of the bedrooms, or the living room. The ONLY overhead lighting was in the kitchen area and the bathrooms. And the circuit breaker was behind the fridge.

Advice to owner:
Provide better pest control, put lighting in all the rooms, and make sure that the circuit breaker is ALWAYS accessible.

Fresh coat of paint on a big problem
Former Tenant
Pros:
Beautifully renovated apartments. Private balconies with gorgeous views. Huge bedrooms and living rooms. New appliances in kitchen.
Cons:
Lots of cockroaches. Security let’s strangers into building. Neighbors are loud and not respectful. Water will get shut off without warning. Tenant doesn’t control the heat and sometimes the building will turn the heat off when it’s still freezing outside. Feels unsafe in neighborhood. Feels unsafe on apartment floor because strangers are hanging out in hallway.
Advice to owner:
Tighter security needed to access building. Better communication with tenants about repairs. Rents are too high for what you give.
