Great Location but need to improve
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location is great
Cons:
The staircase is never clean (I take the stairs every day). Garbage management is terrible; you need to leave your garbage outside your door. No Garbage cans.
In the winter, the heat is on for a very short time, and the apartment is freezing most of the time.
Very difficult to recycle.

Advice to owner:
Invest in garbage cans outside of the apartments.
Better heat management.
Wash the staircase more often.
