My building (2161) has a terrible layout. There are no parking spots due to overcrowding so when I get off work at only 10 or 11, everything is full and I have to park in front of another building entirely and walk. The front door is on a hill and a walk away from the lot. It locks for security purposes, but it makes carrying groceries or especially furniture a pain. The doors are always being held open by a rock so people can carry things in and out.

There's no counter space in the kitchen and no drawers. My silverware is in my cabinet and I've had to buy other furniture to store the rest of my glasses and dishes. There's also no outlet in the bathroom so I dry my hair in my bedroom. There is no central air, only a unit in the living room. So only the living room gets cool in the summer and bedroom cooks at night.
My carpet seems to simply be stapled or nailed down. I've had to take a hammer and bend them down because they kept hurting my feet. The carpet in the closet was already loose.

My neighbors are loud. Either people downstairs arguing or yelling at each other. I can hear every word of their arguments downstairs. My next door neighbor in particular has a ludicrous soundsystem that blasts music into my bedroom which is on the other side of my living room. As a musician with a drum set, I never thought I would have to make noise complaints. These soundsystems are bullshit on my days off. Bardstown Road is always full of sirens. The Steak N' Shake I face is usually getting a shipment or dealing with obnoxious customers at a late hour.

The staff have always been friendly and helpful and it's a safe place to live, but after having so many inconveniences and awful neighbors, I'll be happy when I move to my new place.
