Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Decent, nothing special

Pros

I lived here for 10 years. The super was good and did his best to attend to issues quickly. The price was good and the space was decent. Location is excellent. Never had pest issues.

Cons

Radiators were never working properly. There was sometimes noise from neighbors and downstairs. The hallways were often dirty with trash and there would sometimes be people loitering in the lobby. Packages were not very secure.

Advice to the owners

Invest in taking better care of the common spaces
