Metro on First: Great place to stay (Recommending!)

2008-10-10T14:51:05-06:00

From snowpea2008: I love this place. Especially love the view from my apartment. I tried searching for something similar in other buildings but comparable views were pretty expensive. Have no complaints really. Very safe, good maintenance, on site staff. Location is great too - lots of restaurants in walkable distance but none ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: Great Location, Amazing Views (Recommending!)

2007-01-26T18:41:53-06:00

From aphroditeolympus: I can not fathom why people write such scathing reviews about the building, it's fantastic! There have been issues in the past with car theft, but most buildings downtown have the same problem! Don't let this site deter you from renting, I love it here. ...

Metro on First: very happy here (Recommending!)

2007-01-01T17:58:07-06:00

From leelitherland@yahoo.com: OK so we almost didn't move in because of the bad reviews on this site. However, we did and are quite happy here. Don't be distressed by the bad reviews - we have had no issues in 6 months. The office staff is very nice also. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: To move in or not (Not Recommending)

2006-07-22T15:55:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We're just noticing these awful reviews today and are in line to rent here. What is the real deal? Should we bail on our deposit? Is it really unsafe? ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: I could live in the 'hood' for 1/2 the price for the same security... (Not Recommending)

Metro on First: Worst place I've ever lived (Not Recommending)

2006-06-13T09:49:09-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The place is a nightmare. Several times someone has thrown up in the elevator and was left that way for the weekend.

Parking is a nightmare and if you come in after 6pm you won't have a place to park. The noise is constant. Several cars have been broken into ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: Great location, sweet building (Not Recommending)

2006-04-14T19:08:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here almost a year, and I found the place on craigslist. I spoke with Megan who turned out to be a low pressure, girl next door, wonderful experience in leasing, and signing the lease, and moving in.

Which brings me to my next point: when I moved in ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: Okay, but Beware (Not Recommending)

2006-04-06T18:25:26-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The building is pretty nice overall, and the management team usually responds to work requests within two to three days. Sometimes they respond the next day, it seems to depend on the type of work you need done.
Dowside, the rent is slightly overpriced for what you're getting, but sometimes you ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: Don't live here (Not Recommending)

2006-01-08T21:05:47-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you drive by you'll notice moving trucks just about every day - that's the people leaving this building. Since Equity took over the building it has just gone down hill. They shampoo the carpets in the hallway with no ventilation and it smells like a wet dog at all ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: Beware of Equity- this company rips you off (Not Recommending)

2005-12-16T06:40:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived at this place for over a year. The new leasing company is awful!! They are the rudest of any place I've ever lived. I've had several packages stolen. The tracking has the management people's signature but no package. They could care less. They don't return phone calls. When ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: Metro on First seems fine to me (Recommending!)

2005-12-10T15:18:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've been here two months now and I genuinely like it. I did note the earlier, negative reviews on this site before signing a lease here, but I decided to base my decision on what I saw myself and haven't been disappointed.

Metro on First was sold to a new management ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: metro on first rocks (Recommending!)

2005-10-18T11:34:10-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I just moved into metro on first and I have to say that this apartment building is working out great. The Management staff has been very nice, and I had a problem with my apartment immediately (which I feared) but it was fixed that day! The Deck on the top ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: A nightmare (Not Recommending)

2005-09-16T01:24:03-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is a nightmare. They left the trash dumpsters without emptying them for over a week and they were overflowing into the parking spaces and drive. The smell was horrible. Someone has urinated in the evlevator several times and the management takes days to clean it.

They aren't open when ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: A truly horrible apartment building (Not Recommending)

2005-09-10T14:23:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I went down to the parking garage a few days ago and discovered that someone had slashed my tires as well as the tires of several other cars.

Last month someone urinated in the elevator, but the cleaning staff didn't clean it for two days.

The apartment staff have entered my apartment ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: Stay away (Not Recommending)

2005-08-28T01:21:26-06:00

From -Anonymous-: You pay too much to live here. $1245 a month for a one room apartment and they are so cheap that I have to buy the batteries for the smoke alarms. Several times someone has urinated in the elevators.

They do nothing about the noise. This place has the highest turn ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: management poor, building ok (Not Recommending)

2005-08-17T11:58:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: i just moved in and the building itself is nice enough, but i find the management to never be around and just unhelpful in general. they did not tell me that i would have to pay water, sewage, and insurance until the day i moved in. the lounge area is ...

Metro on First: Far from excellent place (Not Recommending)

2005-08-03T10:58:14-06:00

From -Anonymous-: According to the last message (which is probably written by the new management, in the hopes that they will be able to fool new people into signing a lease), garbarge trucks making a racket at 4AM is part of the charm of living in downtown. I suppose, people urinating in ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: Decent Place (Recommending!)

2007-11-08T17:28:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My only complaint is that it is slightly overpriced and because Seattle has no rent control laws, I've watched my rent go up 18% one year and then another 14% the following. That said, I haven't moved because rent has raised equivalently at other buildings in the area and moving ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: Over priced and under friendly (Not Recommending)

2005-07-14T16:12:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The staff is horrible - they raise your rent drastically when your lease expires. Maintenance requests take forever and then nothing is fixed. Break-ins happen all the time yet nothing is done about it. Cars, storage units and apartments get burglarized. My packages were stolen even though it's a secure ...

Metro on First: This place sucks (Not Recommending)

2005-06-06T21:38:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is the loudest apartment I've ever lived in. In addition to the noise from the neighbors, you have the drunks out on the street and the 4AM visits by the garbage truck. You get to wake up to the sound of shattering glass and screaching metal.

The staff is horrible. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metro on First: Someone vomited in the elevator and it still smells like it. (Not Recommending)

2005-05-03T22:47:36-06:00

From gibbspetty2: Someone vomited in the elevator and it still smells like it. The trash compactor for the building is leaking and the smell in the garage is horrible.

There's nothing blocking the noise form one floor to another. This is the loudest apartment I've ever lived in. Some of the tenates smoke ... [click to read full apartment review]
