However, issues with unresponsive owners, noisy neighbors, poor heating control, and occasional pests have dampened residents' experiences.

Landlord steals security deposits
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location location location
Cons:
Owner was not responsive, stole our security deposit after leaving the apartment in pristine condition, professionally cleaned. Ghosted us, so we took him to small claims court and won. He, still didn’t pay us, so we had to hire a city marshal to seize the funds from his accounts
Advice to owner:
Do better

Old but cute
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good natural light in the bedrooms. Good water pressure. Decorative fireplace/mantle. Location is good.
Cons:
Heat is 100 degrees all winter, radiators at full blast and you can’t control the temperature within the apartment so you have to have all the windows open, but there is a lot of street noise.
