Former Tenant

Pros:

Cons:

roaches, floods, unresponsive super

Over 3 years ago

Not perfect, but comfortable

Former Tenant

Pros:

Best thing is the maintenance. So easy to submit a request and get it fixed within 48 hours or less. Anything from oven issues, caulking, leaks - they are able to handle. Great natural lighting on the third floor, neighbors are quiet. Apartment has in unit washer and dryer, a small dishwasher, and allows for pets :)

Cons:

A bit noisy since it’s off a Main Street. Apartment is definitely meant for tall people, cabinets are so high up it’s difficult to reach for shorter people. Water runs warm but not hot.

Advice to owner:

Just fix the water situation!

Disgusting Apartment

Former Tenant

Pros:

Close to the M train

Cons:

It was literally disgusting. Mice, roaches, bed bugs - the works. We lived next to a family whose living space should have been condemned it was so dirty.

Advice to owner:

Clean your building and take care of your tenants.
