    Terrible, Unresponsive Management. Okay building.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The appliances are nice in the apartment are nice. building is nicely renovated. The location is incredible, steps of the C!
    Cons:
    The management is very unresponsive to issues. Super can takes days or weeks to come for an issue. Laundry room has had 3 out 8 machines broken and they have not been fixed in month. Tenants have complained of the virtual doorman system breaking and the building has refused to give us keys.
