Good Things : Nice floorplan, huge/new windows, clean carpet and nicely painted walls.
Bad Things : Old Appliances, old tiles, old cabinets, not so clean - tons of spider webs outside the building complex and balcony, in sort its an old apartment complex, over priced for the age of the apartments.
Summary :
Considering that they are old apartments, you start seeing things that are wrong or hidden behind nicely painted walls, nice carpet and clean windows once you start living here.
Kitchen and Bathroom floors are old and needs desperate updating. Drawers and cabinets in the kitchen have never been remodeled it seems, drawers are barely usable with the way they are.
Appliances are really really old, the refrigerator has a really noisy compressor which keeps going on all the time.
Be careful before signing the lease make sure your apartment has these things fixed/updated, because I am sure there are updated units within the complex.

Update : 10/12/09
After living here few months, now when I have to deal with the management-
I had bugs in my apartment - 20-30 of them, luckily they are stuck between the insect screen and window. Management respond - these bugs like our property because of pine trees. Its been 3 days and no pest control to take care of the bugs.
My heating in the apartment is not working, I reported on Friday afternoon - things like this in Ithaca winter should be fixed asap. Well its Monday and I spent the weekend with jackets in living room!
I am definitely moving out when my lease ends!
