Pros

The units are a good size for one bedrooms in LES.

Cons

The landlords are very unresponsive and rude to you. The building is not ever cleaned. Packages get stolen immediately after delivery and the landlord does not care. The trash is in a sketchy back alley that you will 100% of the time have a face to face encounter with a rat. Also the landlord is also the broker and has some very shady business dealings.
