Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Decent apartment

Pros

Everything for the most part was great. Cute, functional, nice sized apartment. Good amount of closet space and good size kitchen.

Cons

Hot air rises so our apartment was always extremely warm. We were on one of the upper floors so always had to have our windows open. Biggest issue we had was a massive mice issue. Once they came in we couldn’t get them out. Management was terrible at handling it but I’ve since learned they’ve gotten new and hopefully better management. Mostly loved the apartment though.

Advice to the owners

Handle problems when they arise.

Solid apartment

Pros

Great location, high ceilings, full floor units, modern fixtures, landlord willing to negotiate on price

Cons

Ceilings allow lots of noise through from neighbors, electric heat and A/C can make the electric bill quite expensive, management was not very responsive to multiple maintenance requests, some advertised elements of the apartment (ice tray in fridge, heated floors in bathrooms) did not work

Advice to the owners

Be more responsive to tenants, especially on maintenance requests.
