Former Tenant
Pros:
Privacy and decent space

Avoid this Disappointing Experience

Good area, close to park and transportation, lots of good restaurants nearby

Unresponsive management team, the walls are paper thin and some neighbors are loud throughout the night. Not to mention the ongoing roach issue within the building
