    Looks nice, is cheap
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It is right by the G, which is great. Is relatively inexpensive (especially now) and has a cool roof area for sunsets and stuff.
    Cons:
    My apartment smelled, especially when I left for a couple days. Like something died in the walls. Things fall apart a lot and they’re pretty cheap: the knobs on the sinks, blinds, fridge even. There was no ghost water for at least 5-10 minutes every time. You have to let the shower run before there was an ounce of heat. The AC and roof leaks when it rains, the plumbing was out of whack (sometimes a pool of water by the toilet, shower would periodically drip) but… the management didn’t care enough to fix really. I reported the leaks and they said they fixed it but it did nothing, it happened again and they basically said just ignore it. My rating is high because there is a lot worse and these were all minor inconveniences in the long run, we liked living here and it served us well overall. We never felt uncomfortable or bad and people respected any complaints about being loud or anything else.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the water damage instead of letting it sit, you could get mold complaints which is a lot harder to fix
