Rent! If you like living with mice, roaches and RATS!

TOTAL SHIT HOLE.
Former Tenant
Pros:
NOTHING. Horrible place.
Cons:
Always noisy. Property management does not reply to complaints. Hot water takes 10 mins to start running. Ceilings leak. So many cockroaches. Water randomly turned off without notice. This place is a shithole.
Advice to owner:
Go to hell.
