Reviews

Former tenant·4 months ago

Dirty, roaches, poorly managed

Pros

Very convenient location. Tall ceilings despite the small size.

Cons

The building is old and poorly managed. Had a noticeable roach problem both outside and inside my apartment during the summer. Management took FOREVER to return my security deposit, I had to basically hound them repeatedly for it. Why is there a weird trash art garden in the back yard? The bathroom was disgusting, severe mold issue and plumbing problems.
