I have rented numerous apartments everywhere I've been to more than a decade. I had to say I did a lot of research online before I rented with them, knowing that I would have a hassle free experience. I almost rented with another company based in Madison, and was shocked to receive an appeared totally insane contract, trying to bill every air you breath out that had damaged their property. But with McBride, not just their contract, but every little details are decent. McBride is the best landlord I have ever had.
Over time, I just simply rely on them without any doubt. They are so professional, return your messages immediately the next working day. Staff are very nice and mostly courteous. I have a few maintainence requests every year but they get taken care of the next day way before you head home from work. The walls of my apartment are very solid and couldn't hear much of my neighbors in the same building, unless I'm in the hallway. The only downside is they are next to properties and buildings that are usually noisy college students. Which could be quite tough to handle that noise sometimes. But what could you do, it's what you would expect in the downtown. I 101% recommend you to rent from McBride, I will always rent from them if I live here forever.
