    Dump

    This place is a dump. Rotting floor boards, mold all throughout the bathrooms and the carpet is old and musty and stained. The ceiling looks like it’s about to cave in all around the apartment. They will charge you a cleaning fee but don’t actually clean the units before you come in. Disgusting disgusting place and a rip off for how much you pay.
