    Not worth the low prices
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Large floor plans, all 2 beds/1 bath with a decent sized kitchen and living room for below average market prices. Allows pets. Relatively fast and organized response time to maintenance requests. Wall unit AC units are a big pro. The kitchen appliances are very nice. Great location next to all the best restaurants on a relatively quiet street.
    Cons:
    All walls, floors, ceilings are PAPER thin. I don’t think there’s an ounce of insulation baked into this building. I can hear my next door neighbors sneeze in the living room. I feel like I’m living with roommates that I just never see. Because the whole building is all 2 bedroom apartments, it’s mostly full of very loud recent grads. The heat pipes are dangerously hot — WAY too hot. Water pressure in the shower is terrible. The stairs down to the basement for laundry probably do not meet standard codes and seem very dangerous. Most people who gift COVID deals in this building had to leave due to being priced out.
    Advice to owner:
    Renovate the staircase leading down to laundry for safety reasons. Figure out how to manage the heat pipes more appropriately. When tenants move out, consider making updates to the floors and walls that better mitigate intrusive sounds from neighbors.

    Rude and Non-Responsive Landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, location, location
    Cons:
    Landlord non-responsive to mouse infestation. Refusing to address except for monthly exterminator. Says must wait a month for next exterminator, Mice are running through the stove and landlord will not inspect or clean stove for droppings. Blames tenant
