Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Pretty solid overall

Pros

I’ve had a generally comfortable experience living here. The landlords are hands on and care about the building and are responsive to tenants. It can be a bit much at times but I’d prefer this than an absentee landlord.

Cons

A lot of little things breaking/ needing to be fixed (drains clogging, toilet handle breaking, etc) but they deal with it, the handyman/ super is helpful. Sometimes you can hear into other units but it’s not too bad.
