Beware of the windowless "room", good building otherwise
Former Tenant
Pros:
Rooftop, management is reasonably responsive, good location, no major issues
Cons:
Loud area, smallest room is advertised as a room while having no windows, worse than a prison cell.

Cons:
Management slow to respond and doesn’t seem to check ticket requests to fix the house so you have to call
Once you call though they’re pretty prompt

Great rooftop views
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great rooftop views. Modern building. Laundry in basement
Cons:
Small bedrooms. Can't adjust AC for each room, only the whole apartment
