Quintessa Apartments

Where do I even start?

Cons: Major cockroach infestation. Ongoing bed bug battles. Poor construction. Holes in the walls. Get used to the smell of urine (thank goodness for masks). Filthy. Janky elevators
Frequent staff changes (one manager even quit on his lunch break!). Boiler leaks/flooding/water seeping out of walls. Recycling bins are a joke here | Pros: Security guard. Good water pressure. Unlimited hot water. Air conditioning.

Poor management,
