I suppose Im really surprised about some of the negative things people have written about OGT. I love this place. I am a law student, need a quiet space, and have found OGT ideal. I can also watch a movie as loud as I want without bothering the neighbors.
Brian has not only been honest, he has been friendly and most helpful in some of the situations I have needed him. The maitenance guys are the nicest people I have ever met, and very prompt at getting even small things taken care of. The office staff can be a bit terse at times, but I think that is just a reality...
Parking does suck, although you have too options: pay for it and have a reserved spot, or suck it up. I have used the guest spots on the rare occassion when they are free, and walked a few blocks when they are not. The laundry machines can also be frusterating, but nothing exasperating. Other than those two things, I have found the building to be smoke free, clean, friendly, safe and a good home. I plan to continue living here until I buy my own place, as it is the ideal downtown apartment for its price.
