Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Mediocre for rent this high.

Pros

Private elevator is nice.

Cons

Management needs training. Pest control is subpar and sporadic. Wall units means high electricity. The broker lied about management and the heating units. Takes too long to get anything maintained or fixed. Gaslighting happens about issues.

Advice to the owners

Perfectly solid place

Pros

Maintenance requests are completed in a timely manner. The building is kept clean and garbage is handled in a timely manner. I have no real pest problems and there are regular visits by pest control. My unit has a built-in minisplit, so it's easy to control heat and cooling.

Cons

The walls and floors are on the thin side, so the bass of the downstairs neighbor sometimes rattles my apartment, as do the heavy footsteps of my upstairs neighbor. There are some issues with the building being older/converted, so some maintenance issues keep coming up. While finishes look sleek, they are low quality and can break more easily. There are other additional minor quirks with the space, like doors that open in the wrong direction.
