    loved living here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    wonderful location, beautiful shared backyard with new deck, pretty exposed brick in some units, spacious bedrooms
    Cons:
    New management when I moved from this building was OK - a bit disorganized but maybe have improved; living room/kitchen area in (I think) all units are small and one combined room

    Great Starter Apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Great location, located near plenty of restaurants and only a few blocks from the train
    - Friendly neighborhood with a good mix of young and older adults, families etc
    - Never too loud besides the back yard parties that would happen from time to time (mostly during the warmer months)
    - Laundry in basement
    - Free to use outdoor space
    - Mgmt kept the halls mopped and basement areas cleaned
    Cons:
    - Walk up building (but fine if you live on the lower floors)
    - Can sometimes hear the outside shuttle subway passing by the apartment.
    - Each room had a closet but there was no closet space outside of the bedrooms.
    Advice to owner:
    Overall, great apartment in a great location. Only left due to the rent being raised and my roommates moving away for work.
