Not bad for price

Pros

Management is pretty responsive and the super they’ve sent is great. Sometimes dead roaches in the lobby and I’ve seen one or two in my unit but nothing crazy

Cons

Leaks a lot in the lobby

Former tenant·31 minutes ago

great building, tiny rooms

Pros

super clean, beautiful apartment with windows, great location, no pests, super would be pretty responsive and issues were dealt with reasonably quickly

Cons

heating could be super expensive in the winter, walls were really poorly insulated so it would get pretty cold. however the individual units in each room were really nice and effective. rooms were very small, online these units were sometimes advertised for groups of 3 but would be a better fit for 4. keypad would sometimes not work and front door was always sort of jammed which was hard for guests to get in and out of & this was never fixed while we lived there
