Amazing but with problems.
Pros
Loved this apartment so much. Was here for 4 years. Beautiful apartment building in amazing location. Fair pricing but does not care about loyalty/length of tenancy. No immediate access to super.
Cons
PEST CONTROL: few years were fine aside from cockroaches. However, mice became a huge problem. There’s no immediate contact for super (at least we were never given) but had to contact through the portal app. Had to wait for business hours. Then had to be in touch with the pest control people who have inconvenient times to come. Would stuff a few holes, give new traps but then mice would find a new place in the wall to chew or chew through the stuffed hole. That would happen over and over again and it got tiring. The problem supposedly is the wall is too frail and just too easily chewed into. Also had to discard the caught mice as again, no real super to do it. Also you can hear them chew and it wakes you up throughout the night along with sometimes hiring them scurry across your apartment Communication: through portal app. Improved over the years. There was a leak in the beginning and said they would come the next day. Stayed home to wait for them. They never showed and then never followed up after I messaged. It did improve but always has to be in business hours. Walk up. No laundry (but was on block)- this wasn’t a big problem for us. Pricing: it was still fair but continued to raise despite being good tenants and being there for a while. Didn’t care about previous pricing/stated whatever they wanted as reason to raise.
