good things: apartments are large and spacious, much larger than 1212's units, the upgraded units are nice (great kitchen, track lighting). regular elevators are fast, fitness room and pool are okay, maintenance is usually quick to respond, dry cleaners and video rental in the lobby, leasing consultants are friendly and helpful. great location!

bad things: the head manager is terrible (issue with an aggressive dog which bit 2 dogs in the building, i complained, manager told me to come back to complain AFTER my dog was bitten). the building claims to be pet-friendly, but if you own a dog, prepared to be treated like a second-class citizen. you'll have to use the service elevators and the back entrance/loading dock entrance all the time between something like 6/7am and 9pm when walking your pet. not very safe as soon as it gets dark outside in the winter. try using the front at 7pm in the middle of the winter for safety reasons (or the regular elevator when both service elevators are reserved for moving) and you'll get yelled at by residents and scolded by the doorman. most of the doormen can't be bothered to stop talking on the phone to press their remote to open the sliding door, tends to happen when you're carrying a dozen bags. also, very easy to get into the building if you're not a resident and without signing in, i've had friends show up at my unit without getting a call from the doorman. have had laundry stolen, machines often catch fire and are out-of-order, if maintenance can't seem to fix a problem, they just ignore it (lighting problems in kitchen weren't fixed for one year, despite several calls). and parking is terrible, over-priced in comparison to the other area garages, valet drivers zoom around like it is a racecourse, and bikes have been stolen from the bike room - 1212 beats 1130 hands down in this area. better to go with a private condo rental in the area or with 1212 where you're not forced to walk in the dark back alleys at night.
