Solid place but has its issues
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good area. Never any issues with heating/cooling. Pretty nice rooms. Friendly neighbors.
Cons:
Water never really gets very hot - often the hottest setting on the shower is modestly warm. Electricity wiring isn’t great in one of the rooms and I had to rejigger the lamp shade/spin it around to get the lights to turn even with brand new lightbulbs. Garbage outside is a small area for 2 buildings that occasionally piles up. Raised my rent in a 1 bed room 58% from 2021 to 2022.
