Personal comments
I had the fortune to live with 2 other girls whom I became very good friends with. It was a relief not to have a landlord living in the house.
The maintenance was horrible. Our shower drain was clogged a big part of the time and even though we called about it, it took a very long time (about a month) before it was fixed. After it was fixed the drain clogged quite quickly again.
