Generally Good Experience

Pros

Great location, very responsive and helpful super when I lived there, recently updated so in good shape

Cons

Management tried to drastically raise rent ever time we renewed the lease, thin walls/ bedroom doors that don't go all the way to the ground so sound travels very easily, not a ton of natural light aside from the front bedrooms
