Venetia aPodments

This is my first Unilocal review, but I would like to inform others of my horrendous experience with management at apodments… avoid these at all costs. To echo the previous Unilocaler, management is extremely hostile and passive aggressive… expect complaints to be ignored. I have had several noise issues while living here — it is rarely quiet. I did not even have access to a mailbox until living here for almost two and half months. Shared kitchen space is a mess.

As you probably realize, Apodments have been embroiled in controversy. I didn’t even realize the concerns with zoning laws when I moved in, but the low quality and terrible management made the place very unpleasant.
The rooms are tiny. Absolutely miniscule. You will feel choked by the lack of room to move around. The rent is not all that cheap either. You can easily find a shared house with some other people for ²⁄₃ the rent you’d pay here, and you’d have room to breathe.
I was in a half-​basement unit, which gets pretty much no cell service.
Management is clueless at best (more often, passive agressive or hostile). They are nearly impossible to contact about leasing; it took us many tries just to get a viewing and to sign a lease.
The construction here seems very low-​quality; really a rush job. Walls are paper-​thin; you can constantly hear people closing their doors. For that matter, the doors (especially the main front door) slams shut. Expect your repair requests to be completely ignored. I had a gaping hole in my bathroom ceiling; I informed management of this during my first week. They did not attend to it; several months later when I moved out it was still not fixed. Some workers did come to fix a leak behind the toilet, but they left dust and residue all over my bathroom. No respect for my living space or cleanliness. The water tasted strongly of plastic, to which management said I should put lemons in it. Really? Pretend the water is healthy by pouring lemon juice in?
People constantly set off the fire alarm. At all hours of the day. I remember several mornings where I was awoken by this.
Avoid this place at all costs.
