I haven't resided at the Pegasus for about six months. When I was there guest parking was not an issue for me and the staff was very kind and professional (although at the very end, a new manager was taking over who didn't seem all that nice). Still I most definitely DID NOT like living there (in spite of its proximity to my job) for these reasons:

1) Noise: I lived on the Flower Street side and the traffic noise was a constant 24/7 thing (especially the buses and the sirens).
2) Noise: The barriers between the apartments are just partition walls which are not at all soundproofed. So when you have neighbors (like I had on both sides) who play loud music with sub-woofers, it's a constant thump-thump-thump. The whole apartment vibrates. It's not something you can ignore or even mask with your own media. It's like your neighbors are controlling the environment inside your apartment. And the Pegasus is full of people who think it's perfectly all right to blast their music so loudly that you can hear it in the hall on the other side of the building. You can't expect management to constantly monitor the noise level and the so called "quiet hours" policy is totally ignored.
3) There's no there there. Other people speak about how they love the "edge" of living downtown. To each his own. My experience was that, in the financial district, they pull up the sidewalks at 5:00 pm and on the weekends. At those times, outside the building one often finds oneself all alone in a deserted landscape being confronted by a crazed vagrant. When I first thought of moving downtown, I thought it would be like living in Manhattan, a 24-hour city. Maybe it will be so in ten or twenty years, but certainly not now.
4) This isn't a criticism per se: but the whole scene is attuned for a much younger crowd than that to which I belong. I moved in hoping that it would be like living in a hotel or a high-class apartment from a 1940's movie. Instead, to me anyway, the whole ambiance screams USC dormitory or college apartments.
