    Good apartment, not for long-term personally
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very responsive super, most problems were solved within 2 days. Super had a team of workers which was incredibly helpful. Location is perfect.
    Cons:
    Neighbors on first floor had so many dogs that the first floor always stunk of dog. Also the mail area gets messy.
    Advice to owner:
    Establish a system for forwarding mail and start restricting pet owners 😷
