Good not Great
Former Tenant
Pros:
Laundry in building, Heating/Cooling, hardwood floors, price
Cons:
takes forever to get something fixed or looked at sometimes, have to pay to use laundry, thin walls, floor is not level - UPDATE: New Building management - rent went up 22%! Would not budge with any negotiations whatsoever. Not an apt with lots of natural sunlight, sound insulation, or closets. Management will NOT give you your deposit back unless EVERYONE on the lease moves out. They require the people replacing you to pay you your deposit instead.
Advice to owner:
Stop raising the rent, install closets, get rid of the horrible french doors, pay your tenants their deposit back!!

Corporate landlord with no regard for tenants, only profits
Former Tenant
Pros:
Central AC and size of the units. Bathrooms are new and nice.
Cons:
Since the corporate landlord took over they've been absent an uncaring. The super is great and very responsive. But the people in the office don't want to address any of the major repair and operational issues, mostly because it doesn't work for their bottom line. Haven't seen pest control in six months and they have refused to fix issues with the heating system. The rent increases are ABSURD compared to what they actually do.
