Terrible and Not Safe

Pros

The rent is cheap with large apartments and friendly neighbors.

Cons

The place is terrible. Bed bugs, nails coming out of floor board, water constantly being turned off or no hot water, homeless people living in the stairwell doing drugs, electrical problems, elevators constantly breaking down with people in it, and so much more. I would not advise you to live here.
