Air BnB, no gas and haunted
Former Tenant
Pros:
This place is newly renovated and clean-looking. Non-working stoves on every floor make it a pain to walk the halls, but it's ok.
Cons:
No gas the entire time I was there. Building is apparently all Air BnB listings. Owners are stuck up, selfish and cleanliness snobs. And if you can believe it, place is haunted. A whole family died in a fire here.
