I stayed for 4 weeks as a visiting medical student at the neighboring hospital from end of September into October. I saw the prior review and was concerned but all was unfounded. There was no urine smell, no rampant ants, no dusty/dirty sheets, and no broken furniture. I'm inclined to take Vince at his word on his response to that review.
I arrived to find the place spotless with a little coffee maker and big sliding glass doors to open across the apartment to make a nice cross breeze. The kitchen is well stocked for an extended stay and I cooked a lot while I was there. The apartment is in a great location, close to a lot of great food, grocery stores, and public transit. As for the construction site, it's true, there is one a couple blocks away off the back of the house, but I never had any issues with noise or anything. They kept reasonable work hours. I had no issues with the place that I had to contact Vince about while I was there, everything worked great and he let me be just fine. He was very responsive to the initial couple questions I had about trash and what not, great guy.
