This apartment is in an extremely ideal location. It is right in the middle of the vibrant neighborhood and the building is beautiful! The apartment is also very efficiently designed and has some nice touches. Spatially it is quite nice. There are quite a number of issues with the apartment such as the plumbing stench, malfunctioning thermostat, and heater/AC units which do not operate (in addition to other maintenance issues). While the building maintained an almost-comfortable temperature, the inability to turn up the heat in cold winter weather was a frustration...especially when trying to use the open-air shower (because the other shower smells of sewerage) in a cold apartment. My partner and I had to sleep in multiple extra layers to stay warm. The apartment was not ready at check-in time. I did appreciate the ability to call the management company as our trip was interrupted by a nation-wide train strike, and having someone to ask questions of was helpful.
