First the good. Dana is great. Very responsive and friendly. She lives in the building and therefore can quickly respond to anything. Also, the review is very accurate. Loud street noise and homeless people.
Now the bad. I stayed in the apartment for a month. When I arrived the apartment smelled of gas because the stove was left on without a flame. Then I realized the pots and pans were disgusting. Many years of ware beyond their acceptable lifespan. The tv was also broken - a large crack in one corner. The pots and tv were replaced within a few days. Replaced by small, cheap replacements. The oven didn’t work, the knob didn’t work. It took two weeks to fix, and it was only fixed by jimmy-rigging the knob. The heat was never reliable and sometimes I had to struggle to turn it off. The stove and over were also very old and dirty. There was also an electric plug for the coffee maker directly over the burners of the stove. This didn’t strike me as safe, so I moved the coffee maker to the table. Despite staying for a month, I was only given one roll of toilet paper and and one trash bag. The trash bag in the bathroom was even a colorful plastic bag from a retail store. I asked for me, and was given them quickly. The paint on the walls were chipping. The futon sofa was saggy. The mattress didn’t fit on the bed, about 5 inches too short. The mattress was more than saggy and stained. The bathroom amenities were cheap, no-name, and mismatched brands and the bottles were half used. If you believe in ghosts, don’t stay here. The remote controlled ceiling fan and light and tv often turn on and off for no reason. I believe this is because all the apartments have the same remotes and the signals get mixed. The rooftop deck smelled like trash and sewage when you enter it.
Some may say you get what you pay for, since this was one of the cheaper apartments I found. However, I would suggest spending a little more for a much better experience.
