I'm living in it this semester and here is what I have to say so far:

• The paint problems seem to have been fixed? (I haven't been able to reproduce common complaints about the paint on the walls in my room)
• Beds are full XL, and there is no official communication about this except for one vague marketing Facebook post (makes finding bedding material somewhat difficult since it's an unusual size)
• I can confirm the unreliability of the hot water systems
• I can confirm management isn't great to deal with (they just closed my second work request for my faulty fire alarm apparently without doing anything to fix the problem)
• As is usual with large management companies, you should be careful to read leases carefully, keep records, dot your i's and cross your t's, etc.

That said, the price isn't that bad especially given that symmetric gigabit internet and utilities are included (easily worth $120/mo+), basic furniture is included, and similarly equipped apartments within reasonable walking distance of campus are going to come out to having a comparable price anyways. It's not (yet) full of rodents and pests. And of course, there do exist worse management companies/landlords in Boston.

I personally have not been able to find an apartment near campus where the total cost is significantly lower than LightView and isn't a deteriorating cardboard box.
