Reading these old postings, I must clarify that Penni no longer manages this property. Jose does, and he is an excellent property manager. We have always had repairs in a timely fashion. Jose cleans and washes the outer terrace floors on a weekly basis. Yes, the elevator is constantly breaking down and water outages are frequent, but as a young single woman, I feel extremely safe here. The property is well-maintained and noise levels are to a minimum. I do here the metro passing, but it is merely a hum. Down side to this apartment: It's very dark. Not a ton of lights. The neighborhood doesn't have much for night life or restaurants aside from the bowling alley or the movie theater ($6).
