Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Good except for mice!

Pros

Good location for the area because of the grocery store, laundry, and 6 train station all on the same block. I had the 2nd floor Studio and it was a nice layout and big.

Cons

We had mice and couldn’t get rid of them :( Otherwise we would have stayed. It was well -priced in 2020.

Advice to the owners

Get rid of the mice!
