Reviews

Former tenant·6 months ago

Great building and unit!

Pros

Great location. Minimal noise. Very active super

Cons

Runs out of hot water at night when the restaurant below is closing up. Pest control does not come often

Former tenant·7 months ago

Not great but could be worse

Pros

One bedroom apartment for $2500. Quiet neighbors. Great water pressure. High ceilings.

Cons

Poorly maintained. Weird layout. Shares garbage room with two restaurants and the smell reaches all the way to the upper floors at times (through the door). Floors are buckling and severely slanted. Stairwell is pretty gross.
