Reviews

Former tenant·11 months ago

Murder, burglary and owing on the dancefloor

Pros

Left this place before I was murdered

Cons

My apartment was burglarized. The apartment next door was also burglarized. The police were constantly in our building and told us scary things about the neighbors. Basically, I paid $5000 monthly to live in a homeless shelter. Plus, after one month since I moved, they haven't returned my security deposit. I could spend hours writing about the issues that I had, but these two are serious enough to be highlighted here.
