I would recommend not living directly next to the trash rooms if you can avoid it. My apartment has carried a trash smell throughout my time here, and there's not much you can do about it. Otherwise, the building is a totally fine place to live - nothing glitzy but great space and great value for the price. I have heard of some people having cockroach issues, but I have never had them myself. Also, I can hear everything in my neighbor's living room when I am in my living room, so the walls are quite thin.

It's a reasonably priced apartment. Don't expect flawless rooms and amenities at this price. It's not a luxurious apartment but it's worth the rent

I'm happy with my decision to get extra space at MPP vs going for a smaller option in a fancier building for the same price. Try to get an apartment not facing Michigan Ave, I've heard that those are very noisy (mine is not).

Great price for location, has roof lounge and indoor pool/gym free for residents. In the heart of the city and east to take public transportation almost anywhere, especially Rush

For the price, it is spacious, has a good view (if you're in the 05 line or on the south corner if you're with roommates), and the pool is good. The gym is sub-par so I have a membership at LA fitness.

Great value and close to metra and friends.

I like MPP. It isn't the fanciest apartment nearby but it's great to be in the same building as everyone from school.

The price to sq-footage ratio is incredibly reasonable in that I get 670 sq feet for only $1825. I'm facing Michigan Ave, which can be noisy with car horns, parades, or street music most days, but it's not unbearable or constant. The sunlight is decent, but nothing amazing. The location is pretty generic and touristy and most restaurants close around 9 or 10pm, but the distance to the Metra and the L makes getting around the city convenient.

Great value for the amount of space you get. Amenities (like laundry and gym) aren't great, but they get the job done most of the time. Being near all the Booth classmates and the train station are huge pluses.

Elevator and gym are subpar. Renovations occur quite often (1-2 per month) disrupting day to day life.

Great location and cheap
