Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Pretty good experience

Pros

We usually got a hold of the super very quickly and they were responsive and fixed problems.

Cons

Radiators could get a bit noisy

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Okay for rental, but be prepared to put in work

Pros

Quiet, management is somewhat responsive. Large space with tall ceilings.

Cons

The building is in disrepair overall and was not in good condition when I moved in. The common space (hallways) smell strange. The insulation is terrible and it's freezing during the winter.
