Reviews

Former tenant·6 minutes ago

Good building, has its quirks

Pros

Friendly supers, good neighbors in the building, great location

Cons

Old building so there are all sorts of bugs, a lot of students live here so it sometimes feels like a dorm building. Management can be hard to get ahold of sometimes.

Former tenant·10 months ago

Nice place to live

Pros

- landlord is responsive and cares - nice community - enthusiastic super - huge units

Cons

- crazy bugs in basement - one laundry unit that’s essentially in an infested closet

Advice to the owners

Invest in pest control please, and more laundry machines. Close the creepy sewer hole.
