Everythings great except
Former Tenant
Pros:
People are respectful, it feels safe, everything is convenient, floor walls kitchen and bathroom are all clean
Cons:
We had 3 roaches over just about 4 months and the apartment did not do ANYTHING about it. We put in several work orders but no response, not even a visit. Our apartment is very clean so idk where these are coming from but very stressful indeed. Had a couple water issues- getting brown water (only in my unit)
Advice to owner:
Pest control please
