Reviews

Former tenant·3 weeks ago

Enjoyed my time

Pros

Building staff very friendly and helpful 24 hour doorman good location

Cons

strict when it comes to moving in and out

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Solid building and units with difficult property manager

Pros

Large apartment, lots of sunlight, sizable kitchen, nice staff, convenient laundry

Cons

I had issues with the property management. The manager is not the easiest person to get along with and is a bit abrasive. He makes things more difficult than they need to be because it has to be completely on his terms. There are garbage rooms on every floor, but they shut them down during Covid and have not been reopened. There is also constantly bugs in the apartment during the summer/hot months despite the exterminator coming and spraying.
