    Beautiful apartment, decent building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Management was very responsive, and polite.
    Cons:
    The street is very loud on summer nights. It's also a very old building, so the windows weren't that tight in the frames. This was an issue for safety and temperature.
    Advice to owner:
    The windows need repairing. Also the apartment was filthy when I moved in.
