There was a creepy guy staring through the windows and saying he was part of grounds crew but he was shoving his phone camera everywhere it felt very unsafe. The parking lot is so tiny it’s hard for anyone to get in / out. Bed headboard was disgusting and the only thing the place had going for it was location. Also almost got locked in by property manager because he was unhappy with me.
