When my wife and I moved to Pittsburgh, we searched high and low for an apartment that was within walking distance of CMU. Although there were many to choose from, lots of the landlords that we spoke with were pretty sketchy and it seemed like they might be running some kind of service scam. If I could track down those guys on Google review, I'd share my experiences and would warn others about them. Then we found Lobos. With tons of apartments to choose from, they seemed like the right company to rent from. We've been in the Saxony building for nearly two years now and have had few complaints. The parking is great considering the fact that it's nearly impossible to get a spot on North Craig Street. The only problem that we've had since we've been here was with the central air conditioning which apparently went down for the entire building at the end of last summer. Lobos was relatively quick to replace the main air conditioning unit, but it sure was a hassle that it broke down in the first place. 90+ degrees and no air = one miserable wife. But, like I said, they had it back up and running again within a few days. I'd definitely rent from them again.
