I hate living here for the following reasons... *elevators from hell- expect a 5 to 10 minute wait for elevator arrival. they will also stop on random floors and when the door opens, there will be no one there waiting. the doors will also close on you and your loved ones. there are three elevators...sometimes you will be lucky and two out of the three will be working. most of the time, only one is working. *drafty windows- I thought I enjoyed howling windows....that was until I lived here. LOUD howling that doesn't stop, ever. *they will randomly shut the water off without warning....so be prepared. *lousy heating system in the winters and no hot water. *NEVER hot water. *MANY hidden costs that will not be told to you until you are signing the lease or after- such as the fee to use the gym, the bike room, and renters insurance. The view is spectacular so utilize it to keep you sane. The howling windows will drive you mad!
