One Bedroom Apt
Pros
Landlords are very nice and will respond. Garbage area in the back is usually pretty clear.
Cons
Heat and hot water have gone out a few times in the winter, a handful of times for over 24 hours. I was able hear my neighbors cough and obviously much more than that. Slamming, banging, dropping things, sometimes well past midnight. It can be quite noisy. Outside of landlords capabilities, there are not a lot of good close grocery store options.
Advice to the owners
With the thinness of the walls, pets shouldn’t be allowed. There was one dog that seems to bark all day when the tenant isn’t home.
Old School Building
Pros
Quiet neighbors (in building), responsive landlord
Cons
Small roach problem, shared garbage area between buildings can get out of hand (but the landlord is frequently on premise cleaning it up)
