    Horrible!!

    You'll hear everything your neighbors says, and get all their cooking/bathroom smells through the common ducts. When it's not a super loud TV below, it's the guy next door being totally drunk and having a fight with his wife!! There is no privacy, and you have to keep all your blinds shut all the time. In summer you cannot leave your windows open without getting all the cigarettes smells!!. The airco are very old, noisy, and high energy consuming. The parking overflows all the time and you cannot get to your car without stepping in 2 inches of water. Finally, BEWARE, the neighborhood has become unsafe, and there have been some breakings in lately!!
