Abandon hope all ye who enter here

Described by Dante in The Divine Comedy as the inscription at the entrance to Hell, but if you look closely above the entrance to 2727 Duke St you'll see those very words etched into the cheap brickwork. Seriously though, if you had any thoughts about renting an apartment at this address, then re-consider them, and then re-consider them again and them screw them up and throw them out the window. Staff here are amongst the rudest and least helpful people I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with, fittings in my Studio were unbelivably shoddy, Air conditioning and heating are controlled by the tight-fisted management, even though every last person living there pays for it, meaning you'll be living in a sweat box for at least 3 months of the year until the scrooges downstairs decide to turn on the AC. VERY questionable neighbours, in fact if I were asked to describe the majority of the pigs that live there, it would read like a quote by Alec Guinness from Starwars when describing Mos Eisley space port "you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy". A sour faced old cow working in the on-site convenience store, and a new glass elevator that was supposed to have been finished last year but which having been left in the hands of the incompetent 'gentlemen' from Focus construction, still to this day remains nothing more than an ugly brickwork shell showing no sign of completion.
I could go on, but I won't, suffice to say LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
