Reviews

Former tenant·5 months ago

Soho hell hole

Pros

The location is good

Cons

The management was horrible, they wouldn’t turn on our gas for over 3 months and threatened us when we said we would call 311. They also came and demolished our kitchen one day without warning while multiple people in the apartment were working from home trying to take calls over power tools. They also kept our security deposit past the legal anoint of time and we had to fight them to get it back.
