Not horrible

This place can be nice IF you get an apt on the top floor away from the section-8 deadbeats and their feral kids. Parking in the city garage is fine and safe and I can always find a space. If you are facing the river be prepared for bugs. Sorry, water means bugs. The screens are, stupidly, on the inside of the windows meaning you cannot use a box fan, and the top floor gets hot even on temperate days. I had to run my AC last night to sleep even though it was like 62 outside. there is no cross-breeze unless you have a corner unit. my highest electric bill was $120 using the AC a lot, which isn't awful.
there is that peculiar sooty stuff that was an issue early on but it seems to have stopped. I think it is the fact that the timbers above you are ancient and dirty and if there is someone walking overhead this will shake out some of the crap. I only saw it when there was some workmen up on the roof.
upside is the appliances are all pretty new, it's quiet -- my neighbor BLASTS his TV so you can hear it all the way down the hall but I don't hear it in my apt -- if you again avoid the deadbeat floors and don't face Bridge St with all the traffic and unmuffled idiots on Harleys. on the top floor you have I think 18-foot ceilings. I think it's a decent place IF you pick your unit carefully. Don't take whatever they feel like showing you.
the gym is better than someone else mentioned, there are two treadmills, two ellipticals, 4-5 weight machines and a good assortment of dumbbells. but yeah, you get bored kids in there with nothing to do except screw around with the equipment and I am surprised they allow minors in there as the door doesn't lock. the laundry is decent with Maytag Neptune machines and it uses cards instead of quarters.
I'm leaving after a year mostly because I have a better deal in Boston.
