Current
Pros
Good location and safe
Cons
Not the most responsive landlord, only communicates by text (no email), pest problems in the summer/fall
Best avoided
Pros
- Great location
Cons
Almost everything that could have issues had issues. - Leaks - Plumbing (no full on breakages, but shower head, kitchen sink, etc. all leaked or had issues) - Mice seen in building - Brick walls look cool, but are in terrible shape (dusty, crumbling pieces) - Appliances old, cheap, don't work well (oven / stove don't get hot) - Mold concerns - Incredibly loud radiators
Advice to the owners
Gut renovate - people will always cycle in and out until the root issues are solved.
