Unit 18 Pros: The apartment itself had updated appliances, and was clean. Cons: Management was extremely unresponsive, apartments are TINY, stairwell is not cleaned, radiators make banging sounds.

negativeMay 2025

Anonymous

Pros: THE ONLY PRO IS LOCATION! Cons: RATS AND MICE JUMPING OUT OF TRASH! TRASH PILES UP INSIDE BUILDING IF YOU LIVE ON FIRST FLOOR APARTMENT YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO LEAVE WITHOUT A PILE UP IN THE WAY. SMELLS AWFUL.…

negativeMay 2022

Anonymous

Pros: Not much. Old brick walls were nice and that’s about it. Cons: Apartment #2 has two windows that get covered with trash due to the alley way/trash being right behind this apartment. Rats and mice infest this area…
