PROS:
Incredible location! Super close to a ton of great restaurants, boba, and Target / Trader Joe's. comfy bed; quiet neighbors. spacious
CONS:
Loud construction both across the street and in the alley that the kitchen faces. disruptive to sleep and work. the working desk is TINY. wifi is inconsistent, will cut out and is not accessible from the kitchen. TV signal was inconsistent. had to buy my own pots and pans because the equipment was old. the adjacent apartment can see into the living room if the blinds are open; poor natural lighting. old building: smells and sounds (creaky floors) like it. the living room as a screen taped to the inside instead of an actual screen.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
It gets super hot mid to late July. don't check in at night -- had to wait outside for 45 mins because the building manager who was supposed to let us in wasn't there. someone leaving the building thankfully let us in. if you're looking here because you have a summer internship, sublet instead. it's 1000 dollars cheaper a month.
