    Great Porter and Location!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The porter was very responsive. The super didn’t really seem to care a lot but was responsive to an extent.
    Cons:
    In the summer, i started getting roaches but after pest control sprayed once, they stopped. Not great light. Elevator sometimes wasn’t working and shared laundry room gets dirty sometimes because of shedding animals.

    It's okay if you don't live in the front first floor units
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    There's on-site laundry, roof access, minisplit A/C in-unit, easy access to the Q, there's an on-site gym.
    Cons:
    The gym smells terrible, I don't think it gets sanitized. The dryers take forever to dry, and the washing machines can't handle medium size loads. The management can take a long time to respond to support requests, if you live on the first floor be prepared to hate it. During the summer the residents from neighboring buildings will set up speakers on the street and play loud music until 2a - 3a. Living in the front first floor units is noisy, the front door can slam, if the fire panel is broken it will beep for days.
    Advice to owner:
    Sanitize the gym and get better washers and dryers.
