If you want a clean, rodent- free apartment in Darien, IL, this is not the place for you. I was taken by the view of the apartment I was shown. Upon moving in, maybe it was March, I thought I saw a mouse. I looked for it to run out again, but it did not. I decided that my eyes were playing tricks on me. I continued to live there. The management had inspections and my apartment passed every time. The janitors came whenever I called them, that was the only good thing that happened. The halls reeked
...with the smell of food that had been cooked days ago. The carpet in the halls was old, dirty, and had a nasty smell of its own. The children in the building dropped crackers and cookies and things of that nature on the stairs and hallways. Those things stayed in the halls for days before being vacuumed. Then, in March, 2015, about 10 A.M., I was sitting in my apartment at my computer when I saw something black run across the floor. I looked and saw nothing. Again, I assumed it was my eyes. Then I saw it run across the floor again. I stood up and looked and kept quiet and there it was sitting on my living room floor. I ran to my bedroom and called a family member to come get me immediately. Two members of the management team came up with opened sticky traps. It was then that I thought that those buildings already had mice. When my family member came to get me, I left right then. I didn't start my cleaning for the day because I am afraid of mice. I am a crafter and had supplies on my craft table. There were dishes in the sink from breakfast that I was too afraid to clean. I had talked to one of the ladies in management when she came to inspect my apartment and I told her that I didn't know what to do with my things because there was too much in the apartment. Her reply was not to worry because I would, eventually find space, and then she gave me a passing mark/grade on my apartment. This is not the place to live if you don't like, mice, nasty smells, and unclean hallways.
