Definitely pay what you get for. First impression I walked into the bathroom and saw a cockroach! Went downstairs to the kitchen, another cockroach. The room was as advertised, but the sheets were stained, but overall not awful. Know that you are sleeping in a house with other people, and the walls are very thin, so you hear EVERYTHING! The ceiling fan in my room made horrible noise and I was scared it would have fallen off the ceiling. The area is not the best and lots of yelling and fighting from surrounding neighbors, however I did feel relatively safe in the house. Again, got what I paid for.
