Small, but clean and safe
Pros
-no packages stolen -responsive -trees around back -roof views -no major bug or rodent issues -hallways cleaned weekly -laundry downstairs -near good spots like Rosie’s, fine time, sweet anaëlle
Cons
No real closets, common living space very small for 3 ppl, but the worst thing is we came to move in and previous tenants hadn’t moved out bc management said they could stay an extra day despite them knowing we were coming on the first.. anyway! lol but it’s been fine just small and no light in half the apartment. not somewhere I’d stay more than a year
O.K. first apartment
Pros
The stairwells were consistently cleaned. The location is great. And, if you have an apartment on the second floor or above, the backyard-facing balconies are quite spacious.
Cons
I had to buy a new phone plan in order to be able to use the washer/dryer in the basement. The thick cinder block walls would not allow me to have reception or use Bluetooth (as required by the machines.) There was no public or building WiFi to connect to either. The landlords weren't particularly responsive. We had lots of plumbing issues that took countless maintenance requests and follow-ups to get resolved. The repair men that they outsource to made me and my roommate (two twenty-something year old women) feel extremely uncomfortable. He once stayed in our apartment for over 5 hours, sprawled out on the couch, taking personal phone calls. He made comments on my appearance and I felt unsafe seeing him around my building.
Advice to the owners
Get public/building WiFi for the basement so everyone can use the washing machine and dryer.
