Pros:
I like to have my own parking space.
Cons:
I don’t like how the building is infested with roaches and mice. The trash gets packed throughout the day in the incinerator. The staircase has a foul odor and it’s never cleaned.
Advice to owner:
Please hire people who are certified and knows how to clean.
