Yo!
 

Nice place to live

My husband and I have lived here for 4 years, and would continue to renew our lease if we didn't have to move for other reasons. Yes, like many of the other reviews state, the management office and the leasing office have their issues. From what we can tell, the 2 offices don't really talk to each other, and it's never clear which office you need to deal with. The 2 offices don't know the other's policies and are unhelpful when it comes to figuring that out.

However, this doesn't impact us for the most part. The building is well kept, the door staff helpful, and the maintenance staff responsive. We've never had any noise issues, and don't hear our neighbors. The amenities are useful, including the office which always has a working fax machine, photocopier and printer. We don't have our own washer/dryer (some units do), but we've never had to wait in the laundry room for a free W/D (plus the W/D uses a card, so you never have to worry about having enough change). There is a bike room for storage which is useful, and it even has an air pump for bike tires which can come in handy. They clean the windows regularly and conduct other regular maintenance.

One downside is that the indoor pool and hot tub, exercise room, and outdoor deck are shared with the hotel next door, so they can be busy with hotel guests at times (summer and weekends mostly).

The location is great - only a couple blocks from Jewel or Trader Joe's, Walgreens, USPS, car rental locations etc. Taxis are easy to catch right out front.

We would recommend this building to friends.
