Former tenant·55 minutes ago

Good unit, overpriced

Pros

Honestly this apartment was very good overall. In-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher, central air, terrace, storage locker, wine cooler, and quiet neighbors

Cons

Poor natural light, could have been priced a bit lower, management was slow to repond to a few tickets

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Be more responsive to tenants

Pros

Great location, decent layout

Cons

Management has to be nudged 3-4 times to get anything done, even when the reports are related to mold and water damage. Building has had a history of mice infestation.
