    Decent place to live
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It's a decent building, especially for the price. Good space in apts, and balconies. Its somewhat clean, They take out trash often. Working elevator, cute backyard and dope rooftop. Decent gym.
    Cons:
    Toilet wasn't working when I moved in, very strange noise coming from apartment vent. The basement is scary, please clean it and make it a bit more inviting. No keyless entry :(
    Advice to owner:
    Please put everything in place before you give keys to a tenant to move in. Its your responsibility to apply fresh paint, and make sure everything works in the unit. Do your part like you expect tenants to do theirs.

    Nice building, nice neighborhood
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Loved the balcony, beautiful new appliances, very nice apartment.
    Cons:
    It’s a bit small. Not a lot of storage space. 2 bedrooms really feel like a one bedroom.
