Living here was an absolute nightmare
Former Tenant
Pros:
West village location
Cons:
Being on the second floor was extremely loud with both restaurants and bars located below. Chairs from outdoor dining get dragged in every night at 11pm. Pests were a massive problem despite being highly clean individuals. The heat was never enough because the apt is poorly insulated.
