Great Apartment building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Modern appliances, 2 bedrooms are the same size (good if moving with roommates) aka no master bedroom. Pet friendly, rooftop
Cons:
Laundry in building but only 2 washers and 2 dryers so people tend to not put timers (also they breakdown a lot), managements isn’t the fastest to respond to inquiries
