a clear ripoff and not the most sought out ANYTHING as they claim!

I warned my friends about living here after considering every option and boiling things down to quality and price per square foot as well (it's low low low quality and the price is absurd for the little closet you get-plenty of better places don't gouge you and aren't on THE worst UW strip-many just as close and actually maintained!). The noise, general filth of college kids, a tiny kitchen for 4 or 5 to barely use... 650 a month each for the 4 bedroom units. Almost nothing on Craigslist was that much for that LITTLE. The ads say it's sought after, but managers (can't blame onsite guys since they answer to Coho) say they are not able to fix anything because they're losing money due to underwhelming vacancy numbers. Mold. Broken back doors for months. Washer that doesn't drain, leaving the now more educated kids running to our place with their soggy smelly locker clothes since the ones roped into leases here are all too often not from Seattle and only saw those apartment guides, not Craigslist... Or they had to book without a look, a dangerous thing to do. Worst thing is the marketing. Sure OCHA takes no responsibility for the places. Sure they don't care about any lawsuits against them. They still list the places that are, with those 4 or 5 steamy bathrooms and average 3 sweaty kids per unit, great material for some mold magic infomercial. Long story short don't do it. Of 7 reviews 5 of us beg you not to. Well, admittedly it does give me a better chance of scoring something great, but I can't recommend it having visited the palace and noted the definite irony of its name. Royal prices, check. Otherwise the Royal is much like what I'd expect from a Royal Schezuan Manor take out joint, minus the yum but with plenty of msg thanks to the ramen diets of the masses! It's about the only thing you have room and time to make if you don't just do the cereal diet for the 9 months! Cheers! Now go ask our Seattle buddy Craig about his awesome List. He'll get you all you need without the msg.
