Very nice. A small suggestion in case you are scaling this in the future - the individual apartment page urls should have a slug instead of your mongodb ids -
Something like
roomiew.herokuapp.com/listing/newy... instead of roomiew.herokuapp.com/listing/5ed3.... this will go a long way for SEO and Google ranking.

PS, I had did the same thing for a project henc the suggestion.

@Fayaz, thanks man! Yes, I even know how to do that, but since it was something simple (use a slug), I thought about leaving it behind.
Now, I have zero knowledge about anything related to SEO and Google ranking, so thank you for the tip!!
