    Hands off landlord, poorly managed
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice period details, convenient location, beautiful street
    Cons:
    Unresponsive super rarely replies, and doesn't fix things in a timely way. Landlord is also often unresponsive, and hides behind corporations to make it difficult to work out what is going on.
