Great home, horrible trash and laundry situations
Pros
Lovely neighbors, so quiet in the building, it’s a great apartment if the rent is worth it for you. Obviously an insane location; the park is the greatest amenity, and all of the retail on Columbus is like Rodeo drive.
Cons
They really need to figure out the trash situation because guests get VERY grossed out lol. Rats in the trash no matter the season. Annoying jobless men gathered in large groups on the street who will catcall you literally every time you pass by. And having no laundry SUCKS bc the closest laundromat is a few blocks out. Sure, wash & fold is close, but it’s pretty expensive.
Advice to the owners
Literally figure out the trash and find a washer/dryer hookup for every unit.
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.
Advice to the owners
Invest in fixing the walls.
