    Bed Bugs and Old appliances
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great neighborhood, charming old apartment
    Cons:
    Outdated appliances, on-going bed bug issue. Land lords cheap out with the exterminator. He just sprays blindly and does not even search for them. I have requested heat treatment /or a k9 to come in and sniff them out, and have been ignored. Rent is getting raised for no reason too so I'm moving anyway.
    Advice to owner:
    You should spend more money on exterminators and update appliances.

    Okay for short term
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice big windows in the front room, some rooms have decent space
    Cons:
    Rooms are oddly laid out, weird sizing of rooms, long hallways between things, small bathrooms
