Bedbugs and roaches galore!!!!!!!!

Pros

Old super swept everyday. Clean. Renovated units. Property manager very responsive, helpful and kind. Pet friendly.

Cons

Units are TINY. Parties in lobby. Feel unsafe. Bedbugs!!!!! Infested with roaches. The way the building is shaped in a square, no privacy in windows and hear every noise and every conversation. No laundry. Parking is horrible here if you own a car.
