    Craiglist apartment !
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location
    Quiet
    fine bedroom
    Cons:
    Shower water was leaking in to the kitchen from our upstairs neighbor's shower. They would plaster over it and the leak would come back a week later. Didn't have hot water for 3 weeks when I first moved there. Disgusting.
