Nice and Friendly Place

Pros

The landlord is nice and responsive. Great location close to Myrtal Ave station. Great price

Cons

Sometimes a bit loud on the street

Former tenant·19 minutes ago

DO NOT MOVE HERE

Pros

None at all! The building is loud, everything breaks down, and the landlords/managers aren’t responsive.

Cons

When I lived here, our roof kept tearing in and it would leak; our ac never worked, and they used to take at least a month to do any repairs we report. Most importantly, I moved out this apartment 2 yrs ago, and they still haven’t given me my deposit or a receipt with withholdings- I had to take them to court, and I won in my favor, and they still haven’t returned it to me! THEY DON’T DO GOOD BUSINESS!

Advice to the owners

Do better business, do your job and fix things when they break down, put updated appliances in the apartment.
