The building is STRUCTURALLY pleasant , but that's the least you can ask for - given the prices you'll pay.
Everything else... A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE. Those who manage the building will have you depressed (GENUINELY- speaking from my experience) and regretting ever signing the lease. I'm a self funded student with a single mother. Knowing that she's making sacrifices for me to live in this place breaks my heart... Forget about how nice the place looks on the outslide, think about your parents sacrifices before you think about living here.
Electricity and water tokens never last the month. Youll find yourself eating bread because you need to save electricity to charge your phone. You'll find yourself turning off the water once you've gotten your body wet, leathering yourself in soap and only back on to rinse. Might even find yourself washing with a dish with kettle boiled water.
Ive logged many maintenance issues that were falsely changed to "status :completed" or issues were completed in a manner that caused damage to my valuables (9k+ worth to be more specific).
The cleaners don't even use antibacterial/antiseptic chemicals when cleaning the toilets. I've had a few mascara mark on my mirror for 3 months straight.
Laundry is NOT free like they advertised. In April they introduced a clause that laundry is only free if you make time to deliver and collect your laundry to/from ONE laundry lady (who does laundry for ALLLLL 16 FLOORS). If you miss her you'll spend the entire day trying to find her-forget about doing school work on laundry day!
I could sit and type for hours. This place is NOT THE ONE.
