Ok apartment for temporary living
Pros
The apartment was big and spacious and the heat is on full blast in the winter which is really nice. It’s in a really convenient location by trains and busses and shopping. Very few bug sightings. I lived there for 2 years and saw maybe 3 big ass roaches but that’s it. Management is pretty responsive.
Cons
Walk up building so no elevator Water pressure for the bathroom was ok but the kitchen was terrible and the temperature was scolding hot unless you completely turn the hot water off. Warm temperature was hard to get. Towards the end of my tenancy I found a dead mouse near the door inside my apartment, never seen any other mice in the apartment though I did hear a lot of scratching in the walls. The floors are uneven and the walls are made out of cardboard. The neighbors smoke cigarettes and the super’s family would smoke cigarettes outside but since the apartment is in a u shape and the units face each other, the outside area in the back of the building was like a corridor and anytime someone smoked back there, anyone with a window facing that corridor would smell it. That’s also where the trash is and once it gets really packed, the smell travels to the apartments especially on rainy days. The neighbors are VERY loud. Especially those corridor apartments, you can hear every domestic dispute happening.
Advice to the owners
Give me back my security deposit, jerks.
