I stayed here for a summer while Interning. It came highly recommended by the company so I figured it was a good clean safe place to stay. I learned very shortly that was not the case. Early on I had asked the landlady about prices for another person- she told me that the company was paying for my stay so why was I so concerned about lowering the rent. I wasn't concerned at all- I was just a far way from home and my friend and I thought it would be nice to hang out for a summer. This should have been my first clue. The land lady is a little old very unfriendly lady, who really does only care about money and medleing. The apartments were ridiculously dirty, and overpriced. Sometimes I got hotwater, and sometimes I didn't. There are laundry facilities - but they use a card that can only be filled on a machine- located in her office. Which when she isnt there- isn't open or available. She sends around notices if you are using too much utility- which includes trying to cool your apartment down during hot summer months. There is no ventilation system- so pretty much any cooking sets off the fire alarm as well as showering makes the whole apartment moist- which of course leads to mold. I dont even know if legally this place would pass building codes. Worst of all is that eventhough it says in the lease that the maintainence person( who she uses to spy on you) or the landlord cannot go into your apartment without prior notification or unless there is an emergency. However, I found that on numerous occasions they went inside my apartment while I was at work. The great part is that if something gets stolen in your apartment they are not liable-which gives them pretty much free rein. I did not feel safe. Beds were terrible and ended up sleeping on the couch for three months. DO NOT STAY HERE! It's a terrible place, and one of the worst living situations I have ever had to put up with. The only upside is that I didn't have to live here for a whole school year
Pros: nothing
Cons: everything
