Good:
location - convenience to metro, restaurants, stores
heated towel bar is nice, good shower
lots of natural light
Not so good:
building - pretty grim, needs attention; lobby and corridors are dark and uninviting
the apartment is basic, no frills, lacking personality; better window seals needed (missing or moldy) to address moisture issues - crumbling wall plaster, rusted shoe rack
unreliable elevator - often stuck on another floor or not working; wiser to use the stairs if you're able
