I live at that place for almost four years and I can say that FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS there's a constant remodelling and reconstruction. It's absolutely impossible to sleep, rest or work from home during business hours. It's like living on a construction site and again, I repeat. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. When I shared my complains with the manager, he said that this will not stop anytime soon. I appreciate the honesty. I'm just wondering - how families with babies are living there? I'm not leaving, because it's close to my office and because I live there for four years, the rent (for me) is a bit below the market, but again - is not nearly enough to compensate the demolition noise. If I had to find a place now, I would never choose Palo Alto Plaza and I would never recommend it to a friend or colleague, unless they are 100% hearing impaired ...
P.S. Any review here, about this place, that "forgets" to mention the noise, is most certainly written by somebody who was paid to write it. It's Monday morning and the workers are demolishing something in the hallway as I'm writing this ...
