Positives: Good price, nice street, one block from a fun, hip commercial area with lots of independent stores, restaurants, bars. Negatives: Apt. is dark without much natural light, poor cell phone reception (verizon is my carrier), no internet unless you have Comcast, 1/2 mile to nearest el stop. Also, it's good to know that you need to turn on hot shower water about 5 minutes before it warms up - once it does it's fine.
