    Not as it seems
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The neighbors are all respectful
    Cons:
    The water is very yellow and there are lots of cockroaches and mold all over the apartments.
    Advice to owner:
    Check the building more often and check the boiler where the water comes from because it’s very old and is turning the water yellower by the days. As well as the cockroaches entering every apartment. It’s awful
