RENT TOO HIGH FOR THE SPACE
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good neighbors, few tenants, no small children, clean, delivery is trust worthy
Cons:
Heat can be very hot or none and you have to send several emails to get heat, rent is very high and it shouldn't be, no supers living in or near area so if something breaks down you have to wait til next day especially if it'd after 5pm. Rail road Apts and not wide at all.
