Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Landlord steals security deposits

Pros

Location location location

Cons

Owner was not responsive, stole our security deposit after leaving the apartment in pristine condition, professionally cleaned. Ghosted us, so we took him to small claims court and won. He, still didn’t pay us, so we had to hire a city marshal to seize the funds from his accounts

Advice to the owners

Do better

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Old but cute

Pros

Good natural light in the bedrooms. Good water pressure. Decorative fireplace/mantle. Location is good.

Cons

Heat is 100 degrees all winter, radiators at full blast and you can’t control the temperature within the apartment so you have to have all the windows open, but there is a lot of street noise.
