I was a little bit wary of this place, due to the polarized reviews. However, I've been living here for 5 months now and have been pleased with everything. The location is excellent, with bus service right in front of the building. The little store on the ground level has a nice selection if I don't feel like going to the grocery store. The laundry facilities are clean, and I haven't had any problems in the apartment itself. My only complaint would be the inability to control the heat--the building is always at a set temperature, which is probably fine for most people, but I really like the cold, so I find myself overly warm most of the time. It's winter right now and I have the a/c on! :) Also, the windows are painted shut and cannot be opened. But I have to say, I am pleased overall, especially for the price. I am looking to buy a home soon and will not be here much longer; I would recommend this place for anyone else in the same situation, i.e. if you need a place to live if you've just moved to the area and are looking for other options.
