Reviews

Former tenant·3 months ago

It's relatively cheap but …

Pros

Nice. At times quiet.

Cons

Too many people here for such a small building. Problems receiving mail. It's a real hassle!

Advice to the owners

Please check your security camera a little more often. You might be surprised what really goes on.

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Bad place to live

Pros

People are friendly.

Cons

The building is not kept clean. Always running out of hot water. Mice run the building. The landlord only cares if you pay the rent. This building needs major work. In the apartment and outside. Third World conditions.

Advice to the owners

Stop just trying to collect the rent and do something about the conditions of this building.
