Lipstick on a pig
Pros
The new appliances/finishes look nice and it is removed from street noise. No pests in the actual apartment.
Cons
The landlord is not communicative. The water is frequently brown and occasionally shut off without any warning. The appliances look good but they won't be repaired if they break. The oven was terrible and there is a neighbor with neo-Nazi stickers all over his door. Some other neighbors are quiet and nice but there are some who yell. Packages constantly stolen. It's fine but it isn't worth the money you're paying, especially for the size and the lack of light. You'll have to be really annoying to get anything fixed, and to get your security deposit.
Great area but the building is average at best
Pros
The newly renovated apartments are nice. Laundry in unit. The apt is on a quiet street.
Cons
The hallways and stairwell of the building are usually dirty, history of stolen packages after things get delivered, landlord is unresponsive to requests.
