Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Horrific CHRONIC Bedbug problem

Pros

Loved the super, she was always so nice and responsive and friendly. Nice renovation, everything felt clean and looked nice

Cons

We got bedbugs in this apartment - not going to say much more than that but when the exterminator came he said to us that there was LITERALLY no way we would ever be rid of the bedbugs in that unit because there was obviously a more serious bedbug infestation elsewhere in the building that the tenant was unwilling to solve. be warned.
