Thin walls and service going downhill

Lived here for a few years and amenities have been disappearing. They are doing fewer, and cheaper events, they've replaced the fancy coffee machine with fresh grounds to a cheap Keurig-type version. They even took away fresh flowers for a while. Additionally, the front desk is getting more defensive during maintenance issues and for the price in Pittsburgh it's not as worth it as it used to be. That, combined with the paper thin walls is why I advise against this place.

Excellent place to live

I've been staying here for just a few weeks so far, but everything has been excellent. The location is very close to CMU, the building is beautiful, the staff are responsive, maintenance is very accessible, and amenities are very accessible. I looked at a lot of apartments in this area, and though it is a bit more expensive, it was definitely the nicest and the right choice.
