Cons
Thin floors with noisey neighbors and lots of poison ivy in the backyard

Nice building, quiet street.
Pros
-Shared backyard that tenants take good care of. -Very quiet block -Laundry in the basement -Newer appliances -1 minor pest issue in two years, taken care of immediately.
Cons
-Owner and property manager don't have clearly defined roles so they send tenants to each other. Slightly annoying, but not a deal breaker. -Appliances are stainless, but relatively cheap. If they break, the owner does replace them quickly.
Advice to the owners
Let him know about issues sooner rather than later. Text property manager first for small things, but the owner doesn't mind taking calls if the property manager doesn't respond.
