Great, sparkling clean apartment.
Pros
It was always so clean in there; the hallways were cleaned once a week. There is a trash room (incredibly rare!) that was also, *spotless*. I'm not a stickler for this stuff but it really made an impression. We had very few issues, we were returned our security deposit by the mgmt, and they wrote me a letter of recommendation after. If you can afford it, do it.
Cons
They almost doubled our rent during covid. They did not want to negotiate.
Advice to the owners
You would have had multiple 10+ year tenants who loved the building if you would have been willing to negotiate on covid rents. We loved the building but were forced to move.
Lovely Apt Building
Pros
My unit faced the rear and was SO quiet, especially for LES. Never encountered a rodent or an insect. Very responsive building management, any problem was resolved with urgency and care.
Cons
Hallways were a littttle dirty. But multiple times a week someone would come to clean them. Sometimes the doors would break but the next business day to why would be fixed.
