Bad conditions, stay away
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location. that's it.
Cons:
Building is in complete disrepair. My unit was not move in ready in any way. No running water and more than half the lights in the unit did not work. Half outlets broken. No patching or painting or repairs done before my lease term started. I hear promises on one thing and then what actually happens is another. Also I was notified of bedbugs in the building on the day my lease started.

Sewage Ceiling Leak
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location, 2nd Floor, No Noise In Back Rooms
Cons:
The sewage pipe above my bedroom leaked twice... and it was like the splash mountain type of leak. Took a while to get ahold of the landlord and he didn’t seem to care about either incident to get a proper plumber. Didn’t get discounted rent because it transpired in the last month of my lease that was already paid for. Didn’t pay for me to stay anywhere else either.
Advice to owner:
Fix your building properly and show more respect for your tenants.
