Pros - Near the Japantown/Lower Pac Heights, many parks within the vicinity, a Fitness SF gym right around the corner, some very nice people who work the Front Desk & Maintenance (shoutout to Samuel, Emmanuel, Dmitri and Jose), the interior of the apartments are renovated and clean (The last two are the only reason this doesn't get a 1-star review)

Cons - Where to begin. Living in the M1 building the past year, here is a quick run down. The leasing process is problematic to say the least and is a source of frustration and confusion for many former/current residents. The building was supposed to be updated within a few months of moving in, took most of the last year to do so and looks like a flashback to an 80's rundown casino (I know I used to work in Las Vegas). The elevators are constantly broken and sometimes both at the same time so good luck with that. The laundry machines once broke down for a few weeks at one point. We once had blue water coming out of our taps (no explanation or heads up given). Also, be aware that the package delivery system is bound to lose one your valuables (never received any compensation for packages that were left out by delivery services that were subsequently taken by someone else other than us). And lastly, when it comes times to renew, you will notice that there are similar units in the building offered at lower prices than what you are paying, but management will make no effort to offer a concession (as if not retaining a current and paying resident is a more financially prudent decision than trying to get someone else to move in.) The low star ratings that most give here are completely warranted and if you move-in here and expect anything different you are surely going to be disappointed.
