Pros :
Nice locality & lotsa room space.
You dont depend on the bus to get to metro - it is walkable 12-15 mins each way to the metro - however, winter/snowy periods it *will* be a pain - but even with taxis - it is less than $5 including tips.
All utilities included.
Short term lease - no monthly premium - you pay a short term lease fee of 150$ and u can sign 6 mo - and extend for another 6 mo without any more additional fees.
They pick up packages for you.
calm & peaceful place

Cons :
Elevators suck high time - when we are moving out - there was another person - who was literally shouting profanity that he made a mistake in moving in here - dont repent later - no point ! - even if they work - you will become 10 years older by the time u take the elevator to your floor.

Only the manager gets the maintenance requests done - all other staff are simply beyond it !
Frequent water shutdowns for plumbing repairs - mostly from 9-5 - with no sufficient notice- typically the evening before !
AC/Heating - once AC was shutdown for replacing cooling tower on the 'hottest day' recorded this year - what foresight !

On 'ride to office' day - they wanted *all* parked vehicles to be moved out of the parking lot - so that they can re-stripe the lot - attempted to convince them that they could do this in batches. The only response i got is 'Excuse me, parking lot is not a part of your lease - I own it - I will do whatever i want with it' - very consumer friendly ;)

Garbage chutes *STINK* - consider buying a hazmat mask.

Towards end of lease - lotsa roaches around my place & Mysterious mold like stains - started appearing on the carpet !

after countless encounters - it took them 2 whole months to wire up the buzzing mechanism for the door security
