DO NOT MOVE HERE!
This place is awful! I keep my apartment extremely clean and for some reason when I came home I noticed a mouse tunneled thru my bathroom wall to the point where there was a huge pile of dirt and cement welcoming me into my bathroom. I caught it and another tunneled through the wall. Not to mention the roaches that surfaced because of that.
Oh! And about 2months after I moved into 1511franklin I noticed BEDBUGS ! They did a heat treatment and never followed up! I’m oh so disgusted and… disappointed!I will be terminating my lease ASAP!!Review from Apartments.com
