Full disclosure: This was my first apartment ever, so I wasn't a harsh critic back then.
I wasn't very optimistic about this apartment when I moved in, due to reviews on this site and yelp -- I was in town for a long term internship, and I needed a cheap apartment but wanted it to be somewhat nice.
I ended up really liking the apartment -- I had one of the larger ones, with a perfect view of a grassy courtyard. The doors were thick and sturdy. Nice view. Fairly quiet, considering its location.
I didn't have a car, but almost everything I needed was nearby or within a bus ride. The river was nearby too, with a walking trail.
If these apartments are as cheap now as they were then, this is an unbeatable value.
