fine
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good staff, great outdoor deck. Generally good.
Cons:
Once in a while one of the elevators didn't work. Also, amount of paperwork demanded of would-be renters was obscene.
Advice to owner:
Too much paperwork before you can rent here- it shouldn't be as difficult as buying a unit. But generally I was satisfied here.

Poor management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Our unit landlord is a great person.
Cons:
The management does not WORK. We had serious home maintenance issues that needed to be fixed right away but took very very long with no real response from management. Also many things were bumpy with the moving in process.. So many mistakes..
Advice to owner:
Improve the management team.
