This is a review edit: I will give this place a 3 stars and I will explain why Pros: - location is great, walking distance to HUP, Drexel, CVS and grocery store - very safe neighborhood - the right amount of a busy neighborhood, not as crowded as center city but very alive even late at night - doormen are very very nice and helpful - maintenance is good and reliable - management is responsive and nice - spacy apartments - I had a major plumbing issue, management and maintenance were very responsive and they fixed it in a timely fashion with many apologies which I appreciate - it is a very safe place to live in Cons: - it is expensive with some hidden fees, you can find a cheaper place if you look - noisy, trains on both sides of the building, so if you hate the noise as I do ask to live in one of the inside-facing apartments - you pay about 70$ a month for maintenance (I thought this would be included in the rent) - covered parking is available but expensive 225$ for one car - during my stay they did a lot of renovation on the building, they were extremely noisy, I could not hear people in my Livingroom, had a newborn at the time and had to leave my apartment with the baby on many many days because the noise was terrible, they also did not give an end time for the renovation until later, of note, this renovation lasted 5 whole months - there were construction men outside my window so no privacy with no warning from management - although the noise was unbearable and I couldn't stay in the apartment during the day time, they refused to move me to another apartment away from the noise - if you want to break your contract, you have to pay 3 months worth of rent - the carpet in the hallway is old and smelly, if you have allergy like I do, this might cause allergic attacks
