Would not recommend
Former Tenant
Pros:
-Generally quiet and respectful neighbors
-Close to the G and bus lines
-Near many bars and restaurants
Cons:
-Sometimes there were would be people (not residents) that would wander into the vestibule
-Management is terrible. It would take forever for any issues in the apartment to be fixed. Deposit was returned more than a month later after emailing/calling many times and they didn’t even return the full amount expected. They are very delayed or never answer calls/emails.
-Heat was too strong/can’t control it
-Hallways can be messy sometimes
Advice to owner:
Improve communication with current and past tenants
