    Avoid at all costs
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Definition of slumlord, no pros other than location. They prey on low income students. The building itself could be nice if the landlord cared. Greedy
    Cons:
    Completely unresponsive management and greedy landlords who do not care about their tenants. Illegal windowless rooms and they still charge a high rent. Multiple pest issues for which landlords did not resolve, broken appliances for months while charging full rent, water leaks with slow responses, no hot water multiple times with long waits. Research their public records and you will see
