Living at The Constellation has been a great experience. I lived there the first year after it was finished, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The MPM staff was kind and easy to work with while handing any issue. I enjoyed stepping out on the oversized balcony that overlooked the Capitol and Lake Monona most mornings. Every apartment I visited had views that most people who live downtown would love to see for themselves. It was in walking, biking distance of any place someone would want to reach in this area. Granite countertops, huge bedroom and walk in closet, giant bathroom and honestly the quietest apartment I have ever rented - steel frame construction and insulated shared walls with concrete between every floor guarantees I very rarely - if ever, heard my neighbors . I myself am an Architecture student and find it mildly amusing the clearly exaggerated complaints about the fire alarms or how poor the MPM staff is. Obviously any new building has kinks that need to be worked out and the issues with the fire alarms in the first few months of the building opening are not reflective of the building as a whole. My experience with MPM exemplified the best aspects of customer service and they were attentive to my needs anytime I had a question or maintenance request. Even when my fridge stopped running at 11pm, MPM on call staff arrived and fixed the issue within an hour and was completely kind and friendly. i would (and have) recommend this place to anyone looking for a fresh, upbeat place to live in the downtown area of Madison. Beautiful apartments, excellent location and friendly, helpful staff.
