Nice units, not so nice managemeng
Former Tenant
Pros:
Units are great: spacious and great room distribution for s 2BD. Handy people are great also, very responsive
Cons:
It's impossible to even talk to someone when renewals are due, no negotiating at all. Doormen are lazy and they don't control the entrance of the building at all.
Advice to owner:
Be more human, treat people like that, not like machines
