|Recommended: YesGood place to live — This is a good apartment to rent because it is very nice and safe. The only thing that I feel unsafe with is my room being on ground level to one of the patios.

|Recommended: YesGREAT place to live at ISU — Great apartment, especially for a first apartment. Super close to campus and uptown. All maintenance is handled immediately. Office staff is great, they take care of things right away.
Was super impressed at move in when on-site maintenance staff were there to help with any issues that came up.
|Recommended: YesPerfect location with cute common areas — You can’t beat the location of these apartments and they have cute amenities like courtyards and workout rooms. My only complaint is that the air conditioning has never worked properly. The staff comes right away to fix it, it just never seems to get truly fixed. The code entry is also very glitchy and only work’s about half of the time.

Hi Sydney, thank you for your awesome review! We look forward to a great year with you!
|Recommended: YesCleanliness — the apartment was filthy when we arrived. flooring appeared to not have been cleaned in months and various small crumbs dirt was scattered. smell that reminds me of pet urine is coming from what we believe to be behind the fridge. broken outlet in the main living space. leaking faucet in the shower. often run out of hot water quickly. shower also did not have a rod as we were told would be included. shower tub looks as if it is starting to separate from the wall due to what ever adhesive is being used to hold it down. bathroom mirror has two small cabinets and their handles used to open them are falling off. Furniture that was given to us was covered in dust and dirt. the mattress and spring board was horrendous. front door has slight problems when shutting and sometimes the lock gets a bit stuck. multiple tv remotes that don t do anything are in the living space, so not sure why we have them. internet speeds are okay but the connection isn't very consistent making it not very reliable. overall the apartment is amazing but just needs to be cleaned before new tenants arrive. having the apartment cleaned before our arrival would have made our experience so much better. it's not a hard fix and was expected by us that it would be clean on arrival.
|Recommended: YesMovein review — All staff was very helpful during the time of move in.
|Recommended: YesCleanliness — The lobby, elevators and hallways were all very well cleaned However, our apartment inside was not very clean. My brother and I were very disappointed at the way the apartment was left. There is a bad smell coming from inside the kitchen and we still haven't figured out where it is coming from. The hardwood floor was insanely dirty. I had my sandals off for maybe 15 minutes and the bottom of my feet were jet black. The carpet in our rooms was very dirty too. We kept finding hair ties, bobby pins and crumbs. The table under the tv was also very dirty. We found a lot of popcorn under it. There was also two things that we were going to talk to you guys about. The first thing is the shower rod. In the email you guys sent us it said that you were providing that, but it wasn't provided. So, we had to go buy one from the store. The second thing which we will tell maintenance about, is our shower handle is leaking. Overall, I like the apartment and am excited about living here this year, other than those few things I just said when we arrived.
