    Living here quickly became a nightmare
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Beautiful and unique apartment
    Cons:
    The LANDLORD was absolutely crazy. She lied, monitored us with cameras, and treated me like I was her rebellious child.The roof leaked the entire time I lived there and I would fill buckets of water. A pipe burst in the basement and ruined everything I had in that area. When I moved out she claimed I caused tons of damage. Thank goodness I had a video of the walkthrough.
    Advice to owner:
    Nothing can improve mental instability like that
