Pros

building has high ceilings, natural light, generally clean, very quiet, online task management system worked well, provided quick service for issues. super is the best!

upkeep has gone down hill since 2020 when there were employees in the building daily. however, it still feels well maintained. akelius would not clean windows around lease renewal. packages could be stolen easily.
