Nothing to write home about

Pros

Decent hot water, great water pressure, perfect location, W/D in unit (when it works)

Cons

Top floor and the sunlights cooked us-- absolutely unbearable temperature in the summer. Rickety stairs will little support. The management portal is useless; they don't respond to it. You must email them if you want assistance.

GREAT LOCATION, GREAT APARTMENT EXCEPT IN THE SUMMER

Pros

Great location, updated appliances, w/d and dishwasher.

Sky lights are a dream, except in the dead of summer when the sun is beaming down, and there is no AC available.
