Loud neighbors

Pros

The management there is great, the at every responsible and accomodating

Cons

The neighbors are loud, they always leave the front door open, we had an incident of someone almost coming in to attack somebody in the building. They do parties almost everyday till night with loud music.

Advice to the owners

I am not sure he can even solve this

Not worth the price

Pros

Convenient subway station. Lots of bars around. A lot of shops in the area too

Cons

Building is slanted. Water pipes freeze in the winter leaving you without water at any moment. Super isn’t the best and management isn’t very responsive unless it’s time to collect the rent

Advice to the owners

Good luck!
