Strengths
Corner unit3.0 of 3.0 pts
Photo 9 shows a room with windows on two adjacent perpendicular exterior walls, indicating a corner unit. Photo 2 confirms the building itself sits on a street corner, consistent with corner apartments. The interior photos (10, 6, 11) show open layouts but the two-window corner in photo 9 is the clearest evidence.
Price fit2.5 of 2.5 pts
$1,219 to $2,150 sits inside your $1,800 to $2,500 band
High floor1.6 of 2.0 pts
The window views in photos 6, 9, and 12 show other buildings and a cityscape at what appears to be an elevated vantage point, looking across rather than up at neighboring structures. Photo 12 in particular shows a clear urban view suggesting an upper floor. The exterior shots (1, 2) show a tall multi-story building.
Little or no carpet1.5 of 1.5 pts
Almost all shown living and sleeping spaces are wall-to-wall carpet: the living room (6), bedroom (7), the second room (9), and the hall/alcove (13). Only the kitchen (8, 12) shows hard flooring (wood-look/vinyl). Carpet dominates the unit's flooring.

Weaknesses
Private balconyrequired
The exterior photos (2, 3) show a classic masonry apartment building with flush, recessed windows and no projecting balconies, railings, or balcony doors anywhere on the facade. Interior window shots (6, 7, 9) show standard windows with no balcony door or outdoor floor, and the floor plan (4) shows no terrace/balcony. No private outdoor space is indicated.

Bathtub
97% sure
Photo 0 clearly shows a bathtub in the bathroom, alongside the toilet and granite vanity. from rentcafe #5 ↗
In-unit laundry
90% sure
No photo shows a washer or dryer inside the apartment, nor a floor plan marking W/D. Photo 0 is a bathroom and Photo 1 is a lobby/common area, so laundry cannot be determined. from rentcafe #5 ↗
Private balcony
70% sure
The exterior photos (2, 3) show a classic masonry apartment building with flush, recessed windows and no projecting balconies, railings, or balcony doors anywhere on the facade. Interior window shots (6, 7, 9) show standard windows with no balcony door or outdoor floor, and the floor plan (4) shows no terrace/balcony. No private outdoor space is indicated. from rentcafe #5 ↗

Photo 2 confirms the building itself sits on a street corner, consistent with corner apartments.

High floor
70% sure
The window views in photos 6, 9, and 12 show other buildings and a cityscape at what appears to be an elevated vantage point, looking across rather than up at neighboring structures. Photo 12 in particular shows a clear urban view suggesting an upper floor. The exterior shots (1, 2) show a tall multi-story building. from redfin #941 ↗
Natural light
/10
Standard-sized double-hung windows let in decent daylight (6, 7, 9), and the second room has two windows (9), but none are floor-to-ceiling or oversized, so light is moderate rather than abundant. from rentcafe #5 ↗
no photo cited
Modern & attractive
/10
Average, dated-ish finishes: dark wood cabinets, white subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances, neutral walls, and carpet. Clean but not high-end or particularly design-forward. from rentcafe #5 ↗
no photo cited
Construction quality
/10
Standard apartment construction: hollow-core style interior doors, basic trim, carpet, and laminate/vinyl floors. Kitchen has subway tile and stainless appliances but dark stained wood cabinets. Nothing indicates heavy concrete/steel build; reads as typical stick-built multifamily. from rentcafe #5 ↗
no photo cited
Office potential
/10
The second room shown (9) has two windows and is separate from the living area, making it a viable den/alcove usable as a home office. No dedicated built-in office shown. from rentcafe #5 ↗
no photo cited
Carpet
Almost all shown living and sleeping spaces are wall-to-wall carpet: the living room (6), bedroom (7), the second room (9), and the hall/alcove (13). Only the kitchen (8, 12) shows hard flooring (wood-look/vinyl). Carpet dominates the unit's flooring. from rentcafe #5 ↗
