Former tenant·1 hour ago

Decent building, nice super

Pros

The super at the time was really kind and responsive. The apartment itself was nice, spacious and sunny. It was nicely painted and had new appliances as well, including laundry in unit, which was helpful.

Cons

Some neighbors were so kind and community-minded. Newer neighbors were quite loud, had to move out because of incessant smoking in apartments which would fill our unit. Management support was minimal. Had mice running into the apartment as well, pest control tried to help but the issue persisted throughout our three year lease
