Apt. Fine, but location not the best
Former Tenant
Pros:
Elevator, keyless latch system, option for parking ( extra cost but secure)
Cons:
Location, bottom floor rented out to musicians who play late at night and are noisy. Bathroom is very cold, heaters are very loud.
Advice to owner:
New heating units.

Decent place, noise can be a problem
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location for transit, apartment was in decent shape, no pest problems, garbage chute is nice, parking available (extra fee)
Cons:
There is a rehearsal space for bands in the basement (separate entrance, tenants do not have access). It's marketed as 24/7 no noise curfew. I was on the third floor and could hear some bands very clearly, and they'll sometimes rehearse really late at night. It's not super loud from my apartment but it's definitely very annoying and could keep you awake at night. If you're on the back side of the building you'll probably also have to deal with a good amount of dog barking, since theres a porch where someone often leaves their 4 or 5 dogs out. Any time someone comes in and out of the parking lot, they will bark. To be fair, in my time here it got better (they used to start howling randomly in the middle of the night) but be aware that this could be a problem.
Advice to owner:
Find a long term solution to the noise from the basement
