You get what you pay for:
The good:
*Very large and sunny. lots of windows.
*Very comfortable bed.
*Bldg manager was lovely and responded quickly everytime I texted him.
*Laundry in the basement was cheap and good. worked as an iphone app.
The not so good:
*Homeless camp right under my window so I couldn't really enjoy the windows. Those people were really loud: think guitars and barking dogs late at night.
*Drain flies coming from the tub and kitchen sink drain. and foul smell coming from kitchen sink.
*Bad sewer smell out in the public hallways often.
*Pillows were old and stained. I bought all new pillows, linens including sheets and a mattress pad, that helped a lot.
*Found pots and pans in a cupboard but they were cheap aluminum pots and most of them had food bits still on there from some previous cooker. (gross) I bought a new good pot. that helped. The mgmt did send new pots but they were really cheap pots.
*Noise was a problem. Upstairs neighbors having loud sex and walking around sounding like they were dragging furniture. -loud tv up there late at night, kept me up.
*Floors were washed when I moved in, but space not that clean in general. Venetian Blinds had not been cleaned in a looong time. Tacky to the touch. Window sills etc, not clean.Everything in kitchen and bathroom weirdly painted white- even the inside of the kitchen drain,which is course peeled off the first time you ran water in there.
Not the worst place on earth, but it could be a good place and it wasn't. With not too much money they could make it nice. get rid of the polyester bedding and dirty blinds and bad smell.
