While I’ve enjoyed spending the past 2 months here, it hasn’t been the easiest.
Pros:
- extremely close to everything, especially poble sec metro and bus stops
- AC works perfectly
- Beds are really comfortable
Cons:
- feels like you’re in a basement (gets 0 sunlight)
- There were constantly bugs, I found 3 cockroaches during my stay to the point that I had to leave the apartment and check into a hotel cuz the 3rd cockroach was alive and running through the apartment. I felt so unsafe.
- Very thin walls, I can hear everything neighbors are saying
- The shower was the absolute worst shower of my entire life, sooo small the shower curtain stuck to my body every time I showered
- The owner charged me an extra $315 for utilities and threatened to kick me out if I didn’t pay within 72 hours when I still had 3 weeks left of my stay.
- There’s a bird constantly chirping and a dog constantly barking all hours
- The bed sheets were so disgusting I’m almost positive someone peed in the bed and she didn’t bother to get it cleaned
- When I told her I had to sleep in a hotel because of a live cockroach roaming the apartment, she gaslit me and said I was exaggerating and told me there’s nothing she can do about it for the next 2 days
- The funniest thing is I told her I’m leaving because I can’t live with cockroaches, she tried to get me to stay by saying she would cover the cost of the fumigator!!!! Why would that even be a charge I would have to pay for in the first place!!
- Lastly, I’m quite certain she’s come into the apartment a few times without my knowledge or approval. Felt like a huge invasion of privacy.
Overall, I would never stay here again. The price is so expensive for what it’s worth and there are so many better places.
