    Could have been be better, but definitely could be worse.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very quiet location, set off from loud streets. New renovation in an old building, nice work. Pest control was monthly, never had bugs inside house.
    Cons:
    Management wasn't the quickest to respond but after multiple requests they usually did, but logistics/comms with contractors who needed to fix something were always a mess, coming at all hours / with no heads up. Common areas were dirty.
    Advice to owner:
    Quicker response to maintenance requests, clean up laundry/gym area.
