I have been here for a few months and really do love my apartment. My leasing experience went very smoothly. Leigh was great to work with. I really have never understood how some people have so much face time with the manager of the building. Honestly, the only time I may see the manager is dropping off my rent or going out to the courtyard.
I have not encountered any doormen that were not friendly or helpful. Moving in was a bit stressful when my movers were messing around and Marco,one the daytime guys was on me about time and the freight elevator. But other than that, very nice. I am thrilled they are here 24/7.
The apartment itself is very comfortable and quiet. Having control of my own ac/heat is a huge plus. I got a rehabbed unit and really love the cabinets, counter top and appliances. They do try to tell you in leasing that the rehabbed units did not go up in rent. They did from what I can see... about $100. Regardless, I love it. I have a view of the Merchandise Mart and the Sears Tower. The noise level inside and out of my unit is basically zero, much better from my last place in the loop. The laundry room is clean and feels safe.
As far as smells, it does seem that one half of my floor cooks lots of curry dishes. The hall can get pretty pungent. Strangely enough, that half of the floor also seems to have heavy smokers so that can linger in the hall, as well. I just close the fire doors that block that half of the hall off and that takes care of the smells.
Now, my only complaint is regarding the elevators. It seems that quite often the freight elevator will break down. When this happens they lock off one of the regular elevators for people moving or the maintenance staff, leaving only one to service a 24 story building. That does suck. A couple of days ago, it took me almost fifteen minutes to get downstairs. This is just too busy of a building to be stuck with 1 elevator at times.
That's it. Everything else is great. I am happy to be here. :)
