Old building with strong management
Pros
Small, friendly, great location
Cons
Old, creaky, can hear neighbors,
Awful Landlord / Orly Benun
Pros
The unit is furnished and there is a garden. There are many units being rented out in this building. Mine was on the fourth floor, so beware of the owners here. It’s also in a good neighborhood, but considering the other options available, it’s not worth it.
Cons
It’s greatly overpriced. It’s a five-floor walk-up building and many of these condos are owned and then rented for a significantly higher price. The unit is not in great condition. The apartment is extremely old and decaying. There were water bugs in the bathroom and mosquitos all in the room. The doorknob of the bathroom fell off several times. The paint was peeling off. The heater is broken. The unit is dirty as well. My experience with renting from Orly Benun, the owner of Apartment 4B was extremely unpleasant. She is extremely invasive, rude, and violent after acquiring whatever money she needs form you. There were a multitude of issues including being extremely restrictive in what utilities you can use, and the owner also attempts to invade your privacy by browsing through your belongings. She also makes up charges to leverage the costs onto you — very cheap and manipulative, along with extremely unpleasant. I terminated the contract early because she was so unpleasant.
Advice to the owners
I would just forget renting from this owner.
