1. The biggest drawbacks were really small shower with no tub, old AC/Heating system that does not allow for much control (though it was comfortable, I like to sleep in a cold room), and a slow elevator system.

2. The bad news is the lift, which is very slow and can be a bit frustrating at times and only one of the of the two washers and dryers worked.
