This apartment is the kind of apartment that you would get right out of college. It's older and a bit worn, but if you stay long enough, the space begins to show its charm.
The silverware and cooking utensils are a bit sparse, and the floor, cabinets, and table have a shabbiness to them. However, all the appliances work perfectly and Colleen even left us some Chewy bars and oatmeal. While there was a staunch cigarette small permeating the apartment when my sister and I arrived, a little palo santo erased it in no time. My favorite part of the space was the bathroom: it's the only part that fully lets in sunlight, so with its all-white walls and a little bit of imagination, you can feel like your brushing your teeth in Fiji.
I'm hearing impaired, so I was never bothered by noise outside the place. However, it's on the first floor facing the common space of the complex, so you can definitely hear people going up and down the metal stairs, plomping around the plastic walkways, and conversing. The unit has an air conditioner that is very loud, so I had it on when I left the space and turned it off when I was in the space.
All in all, I would say this apartment would be perfect if your priorities are proximity to downtown and price.
