Your Not The Customer Here

Seriously in need of evicting all residents and bringing in a solid house manager. Sticky fingers, bed bugs, dirty linens, fake love….. the closer to my leave date the more crazy the roommate behavior and the overall narcissist theatre continued

Scary Trap House

One night stands only for a hot shower and to escape bad weather. The residents who stay all day need to be evicted. The elderly that stay are absolutely kind and deserving. The rest of the staff need to be replaced. The neighbors on the street are always checking the people who stay at the house on the beat. Due to the constant trap house environment the honest customers are ran off the property.

The place is in desperate need of new management. It was good for the first two weeks while the second visit was a horror movie.
