    Great building and unit!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location. Minimal noise. Very active super
    Cons:
    Runs out of hot water at night when the restaurant below is closing up. Pest control does not come often

    Not great but could be worse
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    One bedroom apartment for $2500. Quiet neighbors. Great water pressure. High ceilings.
    Cons:
    Poorly maintained. Weird layout. Shares garbage room with two restaurants and the smell reaches all the way to the upper floors at times (through the door). Floors are buckling and severely slanted. Stairwell is pretty gross.
