Reviews

Former tenant·7 minutes ago

Cute but not worth the price

Pros

The property management was great at responding, the super not so much. The security of having a code to enter the building was a bonus.

Cons

The stairs were difficult to work with when moving in furniture. The AC we installed on our own did not.
