No....

I'm not sure if I'm meant to be rating the realtors or the building at 11 Tetlow Street, but I'm going to rent the building itself. It's very disappointing. I thought we were getting a good deal at $1720 for two rooms, but then I heard of friend living on Tremont Street paying much less for a brand new, beautiful, up-to-date apartment. Ours, however, was disgustingly dirty when we got in, even though three men were busy cleaning it. I spent the next few days scrubbing door handles, floors, doors, cabinets etc. Dirt was absolutely everywhere. Honestly, you wouldn't believe the amount of dirt surrounding door handles. Windows were all horribly painted, baseboards were chipping and nobody ever came to fix them even though they said they would. At least there's an elevator . . . which doesn't work if people forget to close the door (you have to manually close it. It's really old). You can hear through the walls really easily as well and nobody is ever around when you need to speak to someone about your room. I can't even say that the fact that they gave us a new stove was good. It was necessary. Three burners weren't working and the one that was only heated to a certain point. The door to the oven was warped. Ridiculous.

• Pros: Elevator, laundry room, location
• Cons: Extremely dirty, rodents, unkempt, expensive, old
