Pros:
-Good location in terms of proximity to public transit
-Clean apartment on the inside
-Decorated
-Large TV
-Adequate sleeping space for 3 people
-good couch
-good amount of toilet paper, soaps, other toiletries
-good value
Neutral:
-went on a VERY hot weekend. The window unit AC did it’s job after running for awhile
-picture in description somewhat inaccurate or possibly old. It looks a bit better in the picture, but the kitchen was more than adequate
-public transit 100% needed to get around
-Neighbor had the key. Initially a negative because it’s a bit weird, but the people were friendly and offered advice/help when needed. Had no problem picking up the key even with a long delayed flight.
Negatives:
-construction outside of apartment, while wasn’t a big deal, had an awful smell that occasionally permeated into the apartment
-door coming into building is open 24/7. Probably should be locked considering this is a big city
-while this is a big city and you should be vigilant at night, may not be the safest at all times during the day. Never was harassed or had problems but if alone at night could feel uneasy
-Went on a hot weekend. Needs either another window unit AC in one of the bedrooms or a couple fans. The current unit was able to cool but had to run almost all the time to get to a reasonable temperature.
Overall:
Would 100% stay again. Needs a few changes that can be made but it seems like some things have continued despite suggestions from other reviewers. This apartment shines in terms of value.
