After One Year…
Pros
The staff is the absolute friendliest. They know you by name and are very responsive when you have issues with anything in the building. The amenities and location are unmatched. The pool is open during health club hours only, but a $50 key fob can get you into the gym 24/7. Beautiful lockers rooms with saunas. The rooftop deck and apartment windows have incredible views. I am terrified of bugs, but have had no issues with them in this building. Washer and dryer on every other floor. Trash and recycling on every floor. The apartment bathrooms are luxurious and easy to clean.
Cons
The smallest apartments are studios, and I am in one of them. They are very small. Because of this, storage is pretty limited. The biggest cons are with the kitchen. There might be larger studios, but my studio is equipped with a mini fridge instead of a full fridge, and there is no oven. Counter space is pretty limited as well. In my opinion, it’s worth it, even with a steep price, but it is something to consider.
10 years at the strand
Pros
The doormen were simply the best. In fact, all the hands on staff were great. Not a ton of rentals in the building but they have good layouts, but they are largely dated. Overall liked my time here a lot
Cons
AIB management corp have some horrible people working there. One named Vanessa actually threatened eviction once over a silly and meaningless technicality. I would never rent from them again.
Advice to the owners
Keep the staff, they are mostly great.
