Do not move here!!! We have had almost ten mice and dozens of roaches and management hasn’t done anything more than send an exterminator who did nothing but give us glue traps and leave. We have also had a leak in our ceiling for months that still has not been fixed all the way and still leaks every single time it rains. Also, they advertised a washer/dryer that doesn’t work and they haven’t fixed. It’s even smaller than the pictures and way way overpriced for a five flight walk up. Do not move here!
Advice to owner:
Hire better exterminators or stop renting apartments.

Former Tenant
Pros:
The neighborhood is nice, East 5th street is a quiet street.
Cons:
Mice, Roches, dust from ongoing construction, bad management. Cheap cabinets and materials used for construction. Heat is terrible during the winter, the heat is on and off, only 30% to 50% of the time is on.
Advice to owner:
Better communication, be responsible for the noise, dust, pest, and notice your tenet ahead.
