My first apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
Our neighbors across the street were so kind . I miss them
Cons:
The neighbors under us at all hours of the day/night playing the same shitty base song on repeat. It would vibrate our floors it was so loud. Kill the roaches. Don’t feed or water them after midnight! Major roach problems .
Advice to owner:
Please have better bug control!!!
