    Looks nice, not much that can be done about noise
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The apartment itself is nice. There's lots of useful things nearby, close to 86th street.
    Cons:
    The floors are too thin. This means you can hear everything from the people above and below you. It can be really annoying.

    1 Year Rental
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Clean, quiet building, laundry on each floor, location is a very neighborhood vibe
    Cons:
    None come to mind, moved to be closer to downtown
    Over 3 years ago
    Glad I’m gone
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice location? Super is nice.
    Cons:
    Very muggy and poor ventilation. I had to run a dehumidifier 24 hours a day during the summer it was disgusting. Literally had to dump gallons of water every day. Walls are super thin. Bugs! Sad it seemed like a nice building, was really eager to move out.

    Do not rent from Pan Am Equities or Mirador Real Estate!!! Big mistake!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good finishes in apartments. Good value. Good súper in this particular building.
    Cons:
    Bad property management. Unresponsive. Greedy during difficult covid times. No flexibility like the one other management companies show during covid times. Be prepared to be trapped and not have anyone that is willing to speak to you. Rude employees in their Mirador Real Estate company.
    Advice to owner:
    Check if your lack of training for your employees is really bringing you good results. Before covid, it was a real estate market, now is a tenant market. Look for hospitality sales professionals to help your unskilled workforce

    Has a potential
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amazing superintendent. Super fast elevator
    Cons:
    Super thin walls. Majorly loud floor boards/ceiling.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix all your floor boards!
