Comfortable nicely renovated place, absent landlord
Pros
Overall it was a good place to live and would recommend it. The units are nicely renovated, big modern kitchen, with decent sized bedrooms (varies, around ~12x9ft), pretty good sound insulation between floors/rooms, effective mini-split style heat/AC, and pretty clean. Rent includes a cleaner who does the kitchen and bathrooms once a month so it never gets too bad. Landlord has been fair with rent increases so far just matching inflation. Haven't seen any bug/rodent problems, besides occasional ants (twice in a few years) and sometimes you see a centipede.
Cons
Landlord is very nice to deal with directly and seems to have good intentions and does help with some things to be fair, but takes forever to respond to other issues, randomly ignores messages, and promises things that don't happen unless you continually nag him (like says someone will come do something but it doesn't happen). Only one washer and dryer for the whole building and it costs a lot ($3.75 each). I also heard former tenants say it takes forever to get your security deposit back.
Advice to the owners
A little more responsiveness to issues would go a long way in an an otherwise great place.
