Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Nice units, not so nice managemeng

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 the owners

Be more human, treat people like that, not like machines
