      The barker House isn't meant for longterm living, the lease duration is only 3 months and you see a lot of people coming and going. I will tell you right now, if you like peace, quiet, and privacy DO NOT move here. This building isā€¦Ā See More >

                        The barker house is a horrible place to stay . The rent is different for everyone even if its the same floor plan. The owner Astrid and her employees go through your apartment when ever they want even when your not even there. Things comeā€¦Ā See More >
