Portabello Apartments: (Not Recommending)

2003-11-04T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I would not recommend it.

Reasonings:
*Parking is terrible
*Maintenance is slow to make repairs, and most of them are incapable.
*Roaches
*Unexplained fires every other week
*All appliances are old which causes them to clonk out at least once a month. Portabello should really consider updating.

I won´t say it´s a ... [click to read full apartment review]
