    Good building, has its quirks
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Friendly supers, good neighbors in the building, great location
    Cons:
    Old building so there are all sorts of bugs, a lot of students live here so it sometimes feels like a dorm building. Management can be hard to get ahold of sometimes.

    Nice place to live
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - landlord is responsive and cares
    - nice community
    - enthusiastic super
    - huge units
    Cons:
    - crazy bugs in basement
    - one laundry unit that’s essentially in an infested closet
    Advice to owner:
    Invest in pest control please, and more laundry machines. Close the creepy sewer hole.
