Reviews

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Management Was Terrible

Pros

Good Location and Good Views

Cons

They didn’t fix any leaks. The super never answers. Only ever did anything to fix the leaks after we withheld rent.

Advice to the owners

Please do better.

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Landlord is awful

Pros

Nice large windows with views and location is nice, central heating and air

Cons

Landlord and or super will never come to fix anything. We have had many leaks resulting in the ceiling falling down in places of the apartment. With the windows being so large wind will leak through the sides making the winter pretty cold in the bedrooms. It’s always unnecessarily dusty, you will clean one day and the next there is dust everywhere again. Water pressure is okay, the kitchen sinks pressure is pretty low. We also found something in the shower head to minimize the pressure.
