I'm asking specifically because I am thinking about throwing a treadmill or elliptical machine in the living room if the person wants to exercise a little while they're there.The unit isn't huge (around 1k sq feet) and it will probably look tacky, but I was wondering if other people have found value in providing some simple exercise equipment, even if it seems out of place.Hi Brandon, exercise equipment can be a great differentiator, but I'd suggest a compact setup in a dedicated corner rather than dominating the living room.

I am not sure if the company as a whole is cutting corners to "maximize profit," detached from the concerns of property managers, etc., but the quality of its service evinces a deep disregard for customer satisfaction.
