    Bedbugs and roaches galore!!!!!!!!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Old super swept everyday. Clean. Renovated units. Property manager very responsive, helpful and kind. Pet friendly.
    Cons:
    Units are TINY. Parties in lobby. Feel unsafe. Bedbugs!!!!! Infested with roaches. The way the building is shaped in a square, no privacy in windows and hear every noise and every conversation. No laundry. Parking is horrible here if you own a car.
