Very OLD building
April 12, 2019
These apartments are very old and dirty. Full of bags and mold, no air conditional, old furniture with falling a part kitchen. Also the parking lot is all the time full, old carpet falling a part. The windows do not work properly. The only positive thing about this is they are close to interstate.
