Newish / cleanish / safeish

Pros

Honestly, very solid value. Great space for two, private and you don't hear your neighbors.

Cons

It also means when they take the trash out, it's done via the elevator and you smell it. There have been some issues with unauthorized access to the building (we had someone steal a watch / ipad from our bedroom, which was connected to our patio, which was accessed by someone from outside the building via the shared interior fire escape stairwell.)

Advice to the owners

Generally, folks are pretty responsive, and the building in good enough shape for the value you should continue to have no problem finding new tenants.
