Update: I'm pretty sure the Shane Falin review was written by a staff member or the manager. Who else would specifically counterpoint my mention of the Fitness Area by being extremely specific that you have to ask the manager AND sign a waiver? I think they honestly didn't like the truth of my review and quickly added that fake one to counter. Though I'll concede the point on the fitness area by saying I never asked but also they never mentioned this detail either.
Original: So rent is essentially a grand a month for this place. Furnished means it comes stocked with some unclean silverware and bowls (silverware was literally stuck to the holder), some glasses and plates, a coffee pot, a couch which is alright, a recliner which hurts your lower back after a while, a 27" HDTV on the world's smallest stand, free basic cable, free wifi (not good speeds), a dishwasher, fridge, oven, microwave, a dining room table w/ 4 chairs, a dresser, and a comfy bed. Pillows are only moderately comfy (I brought my own). You get 4 towels, 2 hand towels, and 4 wash cloths. The cleaning people (2 people) come by once a week (typically on a particular day; though they have the liberty to change that day any given week at their leisure with no notice to you at all which can be very annoying). They will make your bed (they don't wash the sheets or anything, just make it), they will wash and fold your used towels (however I don't doubt they wash them, but they don't ever smell clean, so the soap must be unscented and you will also usually get lots of long hairs from the cleaning lady on them, which is disgusting), they will take out your trash, and they will clean the toilet. I'm fairly certain that they never sweep or mop any floor nor vacuum the bedroom carpet.
One thing to note is that you can control your own thermostat, though either the cleaning people or the manager have the nerve to come in when you're gone and adjust it hoping you won't notice. So if it's been freezing and you've been running the heat at 70-75 expect it to be adjusted to like 60-65. Also, if the internet goes down after 5 or on the weekend then you're screwed because the modem is in the manager's office.
Everyone I ever spoke to was nice. The parking lot is clean and accommodating. Fitness area is in the managers office apartment, which is locked when they're not there (generally after 5 and weekends) so for a working person like me you will never have access to it. Laundry costs a dollar to wash or dry, though none of the driers really work well. They get it from wet to damp and then you have to run them one more time. So it's essentially $3 a load.
Never felt unsafe or worried in this neighborhood. Very close to a church, McD's, Mall, Interstates, Walmart, Food City, Big Lots, and tons of other food places. And do note to that the sink doesn't have a disposal.
That's about it. I'd say that if you have the option, choose an unfurnished apartment or a hotel. This place is alright, but really not the best.
