So much noise

3 Langdon St: Squeakiest floorboards on the planet. Vertical sound insulation is non-existent. Not our neighbors’ fault - this a problem with the construction of the building. But every footstep, conversation, door opening, bed squeaking etc can be heard. Maybe not a great choice if you are a light sleeper. A pretty nice spot otherwise. Convenient, clean, does the job. Leasing office is great and maintenance is fast. Just pray that you get quiet neighbors.

Pretty Good

Very convenient location. Staff and residents are friendly. Staff handle repair and maintenance requests quickly. On the other hand, only 4 names are on the 30 person buzzer/intercom and visitors get confused. A little noisy in the summer when windows are open - law students talking loudly as they walk by at 1 am on weekend nights.

First impressions

Have been here almost 4 weeks. Building is immaculate and staff are friendly and responsive. 2 Neighbors directly over us are doing some kind of aerobic exercise several days a week - mornings and afternoons - and the ceiling shakes in addition to the unpleasant noise. They also stomp at all times of day. We are settling in and have not wanted to start out with a complaint... Otherwise the building is quiet.

Cleaning

I was really disappointed with the lack of cleaning that was done in the unit I had to move into after they kicked us out of 20 Chauncy. I had asked for the unit to be cleaned prior to me moving in bc of COVID and it was not done properly. There was grease and dust left over in all of the kitchen cabinets as well as in the bathroom.
