Great apartment, kind landlords

Pros

Liked the landlords and the apartment was nice and building was clean and had a community feel to it

Cons

They raised rents a lot (however we were there during covid and had a great deal + the neighborhood was rapidly gentrifying) And the bathroom had a weird odor coming from the vents that they never got rid of
