Good but not great

I've lived here for six months now and overall I would reccommend it.

The units are nicely rehabbed with especially nice woodfloors. The finishes on the bathrooms are a cut above most other studios in the area.

Biggest complaint would be the mail. If you recieve anything that can't fit in your tiny mailbox, its all just heaped in a pile and all the residents have to pick through it to find their stuff. Management is too lazy to put notices in the mailbox like a normal apartment building. No wonder I only get my magazines half the time.

Also, you'd better like dogs if you live here. Almost everyone has one . . .meaning theres always dogs jumping on you as you walk through the lobby, and the elevator constantly smells like pet dander even though residents are not supposed to bring their pets in them.

The windows in the units are larger than average which is nice.

I have neighbors who yell alot and I can hear them through the walls which is annoying.

The building still has old crickety radiators that make an impossibly loud banging noise a couple times a day. It sounds like someone is banging two metal pipes together. I've awaken in the night because of it.

The studios may be small but they are functional. If they had dishwashers in them then I would say that the rent is fair.

Hey, its not up to the management to monitor and distribute mail and packages. Talk to the mailman and UPS about what you want, its not for Denise to be your personal mail box.
