We were excited to stay at this place. The picture are cute and it is in an up and coming area and close to many things. Sadly, we had many disappointments.
This biggest issue is that the elevator, which is literally 2’x3’ and just room for 1 person and 2 bags, got stuck with my 80 year old father in it. Cell service is terrible in the building and non-existent in the elevator. The so called, “emergency phone” just rings and rings and no one answers. So my poor father was stuck in there for well over an hour with no way out, no way to sit down, and no way to call. He kept banging on the walls and finally some kind passerby helped by prying open the door and holding it while assisting him out as it was stuck between 2 floors. Imagine him having to jump down 3 feet after squeezing through he opening. Thank God for this person as apparently there is no one to answer the emergency phone!! While I recognize this is not the fault of the lessors - it does speak to the experience which was ruined by this incident. He was really a mess after this. Then, for the next several days we had to go 3 flights of circular, uneven, stairs to get to and from the apartment. That meant dad was pretty stuck in the apartment because he refused to use the dangerous elevator again, and climbing that many steps was too much for him.
The room heater came on in the middle of the night - no warning, and no way we could turn it off. The window in the living room was broken and when we opened it, it fell inward and my son fortunately caught it right above my daughters head. This is a 6-7 foot high window!! They sent a repair person who said they fixed it, but when nighttime came, we couldn’t open it so were left to sleep in a very hot apartment. And lastly, the washer/dryer is a single unit that takes 3 hours to do 1 load of clothes. So if you think you are going to get it all done, consider a laundry mat.
So while it is cute, and is located in a convenient area, the building needs some serious help.
