Nice place to stay, not a home
Pros
No major issues. Clean, no pests, etc. Fairly quiet, great light, good location.
Cons
The construction of the building, and the way its managed cut corners in a way that is frustrating. It could be an excellent experience, but its sub par. E.g. cheap cabinets with shelfs that fall down, no bike storage even though there is plenty of space for one in the otherwise useless courtyard, nothing is allowed in hallways (even welcome mats), management is unresponsive (took months to deal with packages getting stolen daily). Overall no deal breakers but feels more like a place to stay and not a home due to some of these things. Electricity is also wildly expensive since we pay for heating via an inefficient heat pump, and hot water via our in unit water heater.
Advice to the owners

Nice looking building, but thinnest walls
Pros
Laundry room Overall maintenance/cleanliness
Cons
You can hear everything — other people in your apt (even if they’re quiet), neighbors next to you, and neighbors across the hallway. Also anyone above you too. The doors in the building slam shut and are incredibly loud
