    Can’t really complain!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building is cleaned several times a week, garbage is always taken care of, good amenities, great location, quiet, big windows in bedroom
    Cons:
    Hard to get ahold of for fixing anything but once you message a few times they’re helpful and get your needs fixed
    Rooftop furniture is all broken
    Advice to owner:
    Replace furniture upstairs and check in on gym equipment to make sure it’s all good :) would love to get faster responses too!
