shared a 2 br apt with a friend and didnt seem to mind. had to break up a dog fight in our back courtyard and heard helos flying all the time. lots of police noise and activity, but never got to see anything "cool". one time we did get to see a bunch of apts. with orange spray paint everywhere. other than that, not too bad, my buddy did get to bang the girl downstairs while her husband was at sea, that was pretty cool. i wouldnt live here again, but when you are single and need a cheap place to stay, what the hell.
