do not live here

Pros

deep closet is nice, street is pretty during the day

Cons

Landlord is awful and doesn’t care when you have issues. Apartment was infested with roaches and they wouldn’t do anything about it. Also it’s incredibly loud and water pressure sucks.

Advice to the owners

Make an effort to respond to tenants in a way that’s kind and effective.
