  • Cockroaches and Unhygenic Bathrooms

    January 28, 2025
    There has been a significant decrease in quality since I started renting here three years ago. Bathroom cleaning is now weekly, not daily as it used to be, leading to clogged toilets for days at a time, and dirty floors and showers, and the building has become infested with cockroaches, with little action taken on behalf of management. I would not rent here again and will be ending my lease here at the end of this year.

    I’m happy with my first week in the building on Telegraph. The bathrooms, kitchen, and study room are kept clean and well-maintained. Recently, the laundry room was updated with new machines, and they are working well. The residents in the building are also friendly.
