Good things: Great location with an easy half hour walk to SDSU. Another half hour walk in the other direction puts you in the el Cajon area with lots of restaurants
Bad things: This apartment complex is dominated by loud undergrads. On the weekends you can expect to hear screaming from 12 am through about 3 am. It being a circular apartment complex around a pool, the noise in the hallways (or by the pool) reverberates through the whole building. In my first week I also had to break apart a fight between a group of undergrads during which one guy was assaulting a girl.
Checkin is bad because you have to get into the building and then into the apartment before you can get the opener for getting into the building, which means you have to hope someone else is going into the building when you need to get into the building. If it is late at night you might be waiting a while, and there is nowhere to stand if it rains.
