My home for 8 years

Pros

I love my room have a lot natural lights!! I can watch the sunrise !

Cons

The owner is irresponsible and the building is old and they never fix anything in the building. I've been asking to fix the ceiling and change the old fridge and they never reply.

Advice to the owners

You should listen to your tenant's requests and with all the money that you get every single month, you should start remodeling the building!! Thanks
