Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

don’t consider it

Pros

the water pressure is great but it does take some time to get warm since it’s an electric water heater

Cons

they did not clean the apartment prior to move-in. It was completely trashed, the refrigerator had a syringe and there were open holes throughout the apartment that were not patched up. there was a huge mouse problem. the heat was not adjustable and controlled by the super and was too hot. we would keep the window open during the dead of winter.
