The positive:
- the unit was clean (negative though, the air freshener was oppressive and terrible)
- the managers/owners are more responsive/communicative than a rock.
The negative:
- after the check-in process, there is NO access to the unit through the front door of the apartment building. As the unit is listed as “pet friendly” this is absolutely ludicrous. To come back inside after taking your dog for a walk, you have to walk the whole way through the entire parking garage to find the right elevator (there are multiple and don’t all go beyond the lobby) to gain access to the building.
- for being in one of the more walkable neighborhoods of the city, not being able to use the front door of the building is (again) ridiculous.
- the listing states that the unit has one designated parking space. Unfortunately, my vehicle was too tall for the parking garage (max height 6’8”), and there is no overnight on street parking in the vicinity.
- the owners/managers of the unit repeatedly told me to reference the instructions when I asked about other parking options. No other suggestions, just refer to the instructions. The parking instructions were cryptic at best. Luckily, my brother lives 15 minutes away, so I was able to park in front of his house, then Uber back and forth (which is still ridiculous)
- some of the furniture was heavily scratched/damaged.
