Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Renovated apartments. Dishwasher. High ceilings. Pet friendly.
Cons:
PAPER THIN walls. I can hear my neighbor clear their throat!

Took months to properly address the rodent issue we had.

The block is very busy and loud all the time.
Advice to owner:
Fix the basement to prevent rodents from entering the building. Massive hole near backyard door.
