    Willfully incompetent management
    Former Tenant

    Beautiful apartment, nice neighbors

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Large, apartments with character, good storage space
    Cons:
    Roach infestation is disgustingly out on control for over a year. They are incessant, management slaps non existent band aids over the issue.
