Great location

Great location. The only negative part is that it's very small

A lot of improvements can be made with the amount we are paying. Washing machines are really bad too.

Building is fine

The building is fine. There's nothing glaringly bad about it other than the laundry room. There are only three washers and four dryers for the entire building, but only one washer and one dryer actually work consistently, which makes doing laundry a whole-day affair when you have to wait for others or do double loads because the washer is so small. One washer has been broken since I moved in almost a year ago, and two of the dryers barely dry your clothes. Because they're always broken, it is annoying to have to pay $2.50 per load for inconsistent machines.

Fantastic Location

Largely enjoyed my experience here, but the laundry is overpriced, frequently broken, and has taken at least $20 dollars from me in failed starts on messed up machines. Lovely location with great transit accessibility as well as space for bike parking and public parking.
