Overall great experience
Former Tenant
Pros:
The amenities are great, including the gym, in-unit dishwasher, and in-unit laundry (though I understand not everyone in the building has these. There’s a pool but I’ve never actually used it. The building staff is very friendly and attentive. The place is very clean and spacious. Overall I’ve loved living here!
Cons:
The elevators have had some issues from time to time. I also had a leak when I first moved in coming from my bedroom window. It took awhile for them to figure out what was causing it, but they eventually did and were able to fix it.
Advice to owner:
None

808 Columbus Ave.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, lovely staff, quick maintenance.
Cons:
They raise your rent the maximum amount every year, without fail.
Advice to owner:
Do not force rent raises on all of your tenants every year. It's bad business.

Great apartment building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Staff is great. Management is super responsive.
If there is a problem in your apartment all you need to do is put a request in the app and it gets fixed same day / next day. Amazing neighborhood, you have Whole Foods and target less than a minute walk and Trader Joe’s about 8 minute walk. Elevators work, building is clean, amenities are clean and working.
Finishing of the building Looks amazing
Cons:
No laundry in unit in my studio had to go to the basement to do the laundry
Advice to owner:
Keep up the good work

Extremely expensive building, small apartments
Former Tenant
Pros:
Floor to ceiling glass, w/d in most apartments, nice block. Really nice doormen and maintenance staff
Cons:
Small apartments, very expensive, pool is off limits for large part of day due to kids swimming classes (and probably has tons of urine in it from the classes), constant revolving door of neighbors.
