Top floor Apartment
Pros
Very kind landlord. LOTS of space for the money and very nice aesthetic in the apartment. The heat went out last winter and was eventually resolved (after several weeks), but I was provided with a space heater when there was no heat.
Cons
The owner was very sympathetic to concerns I raised but was slow to respond to fix them. All four skylights leaked and weren’t fixed for the entire year. In rainstorms, the bathroom floor would have about 1/4 inch water to walk through if you weren’t home to put out proper buckets. The dishwasher backed up after one use and was never fixed. There was a LOT of marijuana smoke that came from the other apartments through the walls. Mice got into food in the pantry. There’s a lot of street noise and the backyard neighbors often have late and loud parties. I moved out and have not heard back to multiple inquiries about return of my security deposit, despite the fact I left the apartment cleaner and in better repair than when I moved in.
