    Not bad, old building, neighbors will smoke!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Amazing location
    - Generally clean enough in the lobby/common areas
    - Big apartments for the price/neighborhood
    - Washers/dryers are kept in good condition
    - Neighbors are kind and helpful
    - Elevator
    Cons:
    - Super isn't always very responsive
    - Cockroaches! There will be cockroaches. Thankfully no bigger pests.
    - Basement is grimy and unpleasant to be in - makes doing laundry a real chore.
    - Neighbors will smoke and the smoke will seep into your apartment. They're allowed to do that - this is not a non-smoking building.
    - Loud in street-facing apartments with the window open
    - Radiators are ancient, loud, and sort of sketchy
    - Old, slow elevator! Could get annoying if you live on the sixth floor
    - Front door system is sometimes out of service for extended periods of time, and super can't provide extra front door keys
