I'm glad I chose here. High quality units and at a good value. We'll see if the COVID/amenities issue improves by the summertime.
What did you like most?
Quality of the interior of the units is very good. The cost of the apartment rent makes it a good value too. Sound-proofing between rooms and between floors is good. Good view and visual privacy due to being high up with a west-facing unit. Nice place to live. Spacious and private parking garage with single convenient elevator straight from parking to apartment floors or lobby. Management and concierge staff are always very nice. The gym is good for an apartment gym.
What did you like least?
Train noise from the stupid brown line is surprisingly loud despite being a block away and me living more than 15 floors up. I use a white noise machine to sleep and it's tolerable. Noise from hallway is rare but very audible when it happens. The rules related to COVID are very strict and make it hard to use the amenities. I haven't been able to get maintenance done in my unit since I moved in (>2months) because of COVID and it's not an 'emergency'. There's a bright light from a nearby parking lot that shines into my unit all night and is quite annoying. The view from the East-facing units is blocked by Gallery on Wells. Pool and roofdeck area is too small and will probably be hard to use on a nice summer day.
