    Enjoyed living here as a student but not the best
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I really like the convenience of the neighborhood, there are a lot of great restaurants around. I don’t hear much noise from neighbors. And my bedroom gets great natural light (outward facing)
    Cons:
    Someone peed in the stairwell back in October, and it is May and you can still kind of smell it. For two months it was REALLY strong, to the point where guests would comment on it. How are they unable to get rid of that smell? Packages have gone missing before. One time there was a homeless person just in the stairwell. Sometimes they’re super responsive to maintenance problems, but our dishwasher was broken for like 2 months before they fixed it despite multiple requests. And my bedroom is FREEZING in the winter. They are stingy with turning the heat on in my opinion.
    Advice to owner:
    Turn the heat on more in the winter and clean the stairwell more regularly.
