the super teddy is a hero

Pros

Teddy was my favorite part of the place tbh. Always made sure the place was clean and he was available for help whenever needed.

Cons

Old af. Our pipe burst in the bathroom, toilet was sh*t (no pun intended) and there was a crack in the kitchen sink which leaked pretty bad. Pretty typical for NYC buildings to not have updated plumbing so no surprise there. Thankfully it was all fixed pretty fast
