Unbeatable location. Had cockroaches but they went away after extermination (I called as soon as I saw one). Overall reaponsive management but sometimes things fall through - once they forgot to tell us there was work being done on the building and there was a surprise person right outside my third floor window while I was home. The dryer recently ate up some of my clothes (like melted) which is frustrating since I pay like $2 for the cycle. Small gym onsite was nice but now I don’t use it because of covid anyway. I don’t recommend a studio in this building - it’s poorly designed with a barely-a-closet, and no kitchen counter - but maybe the one-bedrooms or larger studios are better.

Great Apartment, Great Value

Great location, doorman, package service, small gym in building. It’s not the best kept, there are years of layers of paint on the walls and cabinets, the heating is hard to adjust so I have to open the windows in the winter to titrate the temperature, I occasionally have a cockroach visitor in the summer even though I keep things clean.

Great cost benefit

PMC is extremely difficult to work with. The management at Embassy is very incompetent. I have had issued with subcontractors doing work in my apartment and leaving my apartment unlocked, as well as maintenance coming to do work in the middle of the night.

Great deal and building. As close as possible to campus. Highly recommend.

The pros: Heat, Hot Water & Cooking Gas are included, and the prices are the lowest i've seen for a pet friendly doorman building in this neighborhood. My apartment is very sunny, has decent hardwood floors and good storage throughout.

The cons: I've lived in this building for 5+ years so I have had good and bad experiences with management and staff, but overall they have been pretty hands off and unresponsive.

Old interior. Layout is nice but bad execution. Place was "renovated" but not done well at all. There are no handles on a lot of the storage cabinets, broken cabinet sliding doors, the windows and drawers were stuck because of the paint. They completely painted over one of my electric outlets. Weird little bugs in my bathroom. No AC!! Put in two maintenance requests for low sink water pressure, its been a couple of weeks and i havent received help yet. Hot and stinky hallway. blegh. Elevator is so slow. But theres a gym thats somehow always empty, utilities except electricity included, spacious, helpful and friendly security, and super close to the 21/42/12 bus stop.

Building has a gym and door man. Front door uses electronic key. Rent includes all utilities except electric, heating is steam radiators. Management can be hard to get a hold of. Pets are okay here with a deposit - tons of the neighbors have dogs. There is definitely bars ad restaurants near by but some are really expensive. Area is really safe and well lit at night. Bus 21 and 42 stop accross the street and go straight towards campus, trolley stop is a two block walk away.

I moved to the Embassy because it had a nice open view and the apartment was larger than anything else at the $1,300 range, nice wood floor, and the building had a laundry room and a door man.

Problems include constant renovation, mice in my kitchen (I dont know why because there is no food in my kitchen), and random problems such as clogged sinks, leaking sinks, leaking shower, leaking steam pipe.

Most of the problems (after some hassle) management fixes within 1-2 weeks. But needless to say, this is not a "no hassles" apartment.
