Good building, difficult owners
Pros
Overall this is a good building in a great location. Street noise can be a little loud when cars are honking a lot, though this probably varies by unit. Never had any pest issues or problems with heating.
Cons
The owner we dealt with was hard to contact and extremely difficult. Only after several emails and multiple phone calls did they send over the lease renewal that they said (in a previous email) would be offered. This was two weeks before the end of our current lease and came with a very large increase in rent. Personally, I wouldn't rent from them again even if I loved the apartment.
Great Starter Apartment
Pros
Had to get through two doors in order to get into the building. Apartment door automatically locked when closed. Spacious living room and decent sized bedrooms. Bathroom was a little outdated, but still worked out well. Had high ceilings and lots of natural light. Kitchen was redone when we moved in. Lots of cabinet space, but small kitchen sink. Decent sized dishwasher.
Cons
Hallways were very echoey so you can hear people coming and going a lot of the time. One bedroom was right by the main doors so you constantly hear them opening and closing. Can hear mailman/ups/fedex come in to drop things off. Fridge was a little small, but it wasn't a big deal. The oven couldn't open all the way, but we made it work. Floors were a little slanted and creaked a lot. Only one closet in the one of the bedrooms.
