expect constant rent increases!

I started out liking this building. The staff is nice; there's a doorman at all times; the location is great, it's mostly quiet and a bit out of the way. BUT, here's the problem --- once they have you, they jack up your rent dramatically every year when it's time to renew. And, if you want to renew for less than a full year, they jack it up even more. It's outrageous!

Despite some good things about the place, I would never have come here if I knew they would exploit me this way. I would NOT recommend the place, avoid this building! I was dumb enough to refer a friend here in my initial year, before I got hit with my first massive rent increase. My friend moved out after a year and was mad at me.

Oh, and yes, there was a problem with rats in the walls for a while; they spent months fixing the parking garage and somehow didn't figure out how to drain it, so it floods everytime it rains now; when Archstone came in they repainted the halls in hideous colors; and, they put ridiculous oversized fire alarms in each unit.

I repeat, avoid this building!!!
