Loud and Lovely
Former Tenant
Pros:
The people were amazing and I wouldn’t trade any of my days there for the people whom I got to know. The sunlight was golden, the space was wide, and the price was right. Live music every night, if you’re into that.
Cons:
Repairs were infrequent, though the need for them was frequent. Water issues, floorboard crack, gas issues.
