    Standard new build in nice area
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Had no major issues living here, it was overall a nice experience
    -Awesome rooftop
    -Great proximity to Graham L stop
    -Central AC / heat
    -Laundry in building
    -Coffee shops and grocery nearby
    Cons:
    -Room size was veryyy small, but this is pretty much expected in this area
    -Things would breakdown sometimes, such as laundry or random water leaks, and maintenance could be more responsive
    -Living off of Graham Ave is louder than nearby streets due to bus route and trucks regularly going past. Wasn't too much of a problem for me though
