Price is mostly right
Former Tenant
Pros:
For the area, pretty good prices. The balcony is also really nice in spring through fall.
Cons:
Landlord is very unresponsive. Had a hole in my bathroom ceiling for awhile, took several weeks of nagging to get it patched up. The AC / heating system also was also chronically dusty and they would not clean it properly.
Advice to owner:
Be more responsive; hire qualified contractors / technicians

Manager kinda sucks
Former Tenant
Pros:
Rarely see bugs
Dishwasher
Backyard/ terrace
Cons:
The management is really bad. They will ignore us for days/ weeks or not respond ever. The washing machine has been broken since we moved in almost a year ago. Hardly any natural lighting in my apartment. Hot water only lasts 5-10 minutes in the winter.
Advice to owner:
Please handle complaints better and don’t be stingy when it comes to fixing problems.
