Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Unresponsive management but good building

Pros

Great location and neighbors.

Cons

The lobby was under construction but no one ever seemed to be working on it and we had to threaten management to get our deposit back.

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

No major complaints

Pros

Heat and hot water always work. Management is decently responsive, even though you may have to ask a couple times. No bug issues except the occasional beetle (3rd floor).

Cons

The lobby and stairways are always dirty and sometimes smelly. People sometimes smoke in the lobby/stairway
