    Great place, difficult to get responses
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    No pests, neighbors were nice, great location
    Cons:
    Súper was very hard to get to show up and there was a leak in my room that they kept pasting over but not fixing. It was occasionally hard to get in contact with the landlord.
    Advice to owner:
