We spent a year here...

I agree that the Bloomfield Street elevator is very slow, but the place is extremely quiet. We occasionally hear a neighbor down the hall slam their door, but that's it. We were on the 6th floor and we hear nothing from the street or from the neighbors next to, above or below us. I can walk down the hall and hear music playing in the neighbors' apartment but when I close the door to my place - the only way to hear their music is to put my ear against the wall.

We pay our rent on time so have never dealt with late charges. We have had problems with our dishwasher but called and received an instant visit from maintenance. A couple of the dryers will try to steal your quarters on occasion - but generally it is a clean bright room with plenty of washers and dryers.

We paid the extra $200 for parking in the garage - and for me - well worth it in Hoboken. We loved our stay here, and would probably remain, except we've outgrown the 1-bedroom apt. that we currently have.

The location is ideal - a few blocks from the path, CVS, Target and A&P.

The people at at the management office aren't exactly brain surgeons - and I don't like the fact that if you need anything replaced (like a flourescent light in the kitchen) that they'll charge you a bundle to do it.

As far as the kitchen is concerned, if you do cook - they only have electric stoves and hardly any cupboard space - suitable if you eat out or order in - but I like to cook and I would often find that frustrating.

All round, a great place to live though.
