The location is bitter sweet. Youre a walk away from Pike Market, The Aquarium, and the Great Wheel. But when youre trying to sleep, a garbage truck comes in twice every night during sleeping hours. It backs up with a beeping noise and empties the dumpsters in the adjacent alley. And everytime it sounds like glass furniture being emptied into it. This noise is not particularly the Mint Houses Fault, but the walls are so thin to the outside i can hear the homeless have discussions with themselves. Not to mention, someone comes every night with a Megaphone to yell down the alley at the homeless, saying they need to clear out and the police have been called. Barely got sleep.
Prepare to have little help when first arriving. I shouldve looked at past reviews. We were anticipating a front desk but everything turned out to be all handled online. Upon arrival we needed a code to enter the building. The online support is all handled through international call centers. They gave us a code, but didnt work. Some existing tenants let us into the building and turns out there was another keypad for a code at the elevator. The code didnt work for the elevator either. Struggling with online support for 2 hours, they finally provided an exact code for the front, elevator, and apartment door. Very Anxiety enducing.
The combo washer dryer rocked everytime we used it. There is no small or big amount of clothes that will prevent the machine from rocking when in use. Find a laundromat.
