Nice place to live

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Rent stabilized and Renovated

Pros

There’s no disturbances or problems with the building and they renovated very well. The landlords are quick to respond.

Cons

There are sometimes a round of gnats that come up the drain, but the pest control came quickly. My package got stolen twice, but might not be neighbors. There also is no cameras which sucks safety wise.
