Horrible management, break-ins, power outages, etc!
Pros
There was a backyard. End of list
Cons
Property management (specifically Katerina and Marek) were abismal. At one point our power was out for TWO WEEKS in the middle of winter (electric stove) and their resolution was to put our food in cooking pots on the back porch and use the grill in the backyard… in the middle of winter! They would send maintenance crews unannounced in the early AM and they would bang on the doors so SO aggressively to the extent that our door frame was breaking apartment. They gave us explicit permission to paint and then deducted from our security deposit as a result. Took months of persistent emailing to get them to give us our security deposit. They would key in unannounced. Sometimes they would go through neighbors’ apartments to get into ours/the backyard. I could go on for years. Complete slum lords. DO NOT LIVE HERE.
Advice to the owners
Treat your tenants with respect and then perhaps you wouldn’t have to replace them every 12 months. Don’t act as though we’re extorting you every time we humbly ask for you repair something that is your LEGAL OBLIGATION to repair. <3

Pros
The shared backyard was great to have.
Cons
Electricity went out, and landlord/management advised us to put all of our food in the fridge outside in the snow to keep it cold (for days) before it was fixed. Bizarre and negligent. Also, a man who we later found out was the super would show up, and bang on our front door at 7am asking to be let into the building to access other apartments. It was also extremely noisy in the front bedrooms. Lots of peeping cars and trucks rattling right outside your window.
