Fine as a place to sleep!

Former Tenant

Pros:

Great location and price point and the apartment is pretty spacious. Landlord and Super are pretty responsive. Safe neighborhood and building. Easy mail and trash situation.

Cons:

Heat cannot be controlled in the unit and windows do not open - this means you're running AC all winter. Water pressure isn't the best. No windows in the common area (kitchen/living room) so it's very dark.

Advice to owner:

Fix the heat situation.
