Beautiful building, pests and noise
I live here and overall I'm impressed - the building is well-kept, beautiful and clean, staff are helpful, the lobby/library/computer and spacious community/rooftop rooms (great views) are lovely, and new washers/dryers make life easy. That said, I've encountered bed bugs and roaches, expired vending snacks, no hand-sanitizer refills, some staff who smoke/vape or are rude, horrible parking, a homeless presence behind the building, and I-5/downtown noise. Still, it's comfortable, peaceful, and there's lots to do nearby - I enjoyed my time here.
