Good Unit. Shady Management

Pros

The unit itself was great. I was very happy with my space and most of the tenants were very friendly.

Cons

The management was less than desirable. They have a shady illegal broker that did a bait and switch with us when originally showing us the unit and tried to charge us illegal fees. The broker, Joey, is friends with the owners of the building, so even though he lost his license he was still showing units. They also said heat was included, but they installed a new heater in our unit that was electric, so heat went on our electric bill.

Pretty great space

Pros

good light in my apartment, I didn't personally have any issues with pests, respectful neighbors, working and cleanly amenities, nice view from roof

Cons

the roof was nice and I wish I could actually sit up there but the "furniture" is basically unusable

Advice to the owners

Put more actual seating and tables on the roof!
