Nice once you move in

This building is great. There's a rooftop pool and deck looking out over the great John Hancock building. You can't beat the location. The apartments are small, but when you live down in that area, how much time are you honestly going to spend at home?<br><br>HOWEVER... I had bad experiences with the doormen. Because it's a condo with an association, they can make all sorts of crazy rules regarding moving in and out. So you can only move in/out between the hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. If you work, you're out of luck and have to take a day off or face stiff fines. Ostensibly, this is because they need to "protect" the elevators from damage from large items like beds. I am skeptical, needless to say.<br><br>That leads into my second comment about the doormen. A few of them were AWESOME, just wonderful people. However, when I was moving out, I couldn't do it in their allotted time frame so I decided to try to move out with as little disruption as possible on a Saturday. I was then BLACKMAILED by the really awful doorman. He subtly threatened me that he would tell the association on me if I didn't slip him some cash! I was renting the place from a private owner, so I didn't want him to get hit with a $500 fine. I gave him $50 and haven't heard anything since, but it's still ridiculous.<br><br>Aside from that, it was a great place to stay once you were moved in. The pool with a view was phenomenal. You couldn't ask for a better location. Also, for the place I was renting, it was relatively cheap (again, renting from a private and very nice owner). But I didn't like the association policies.
