When the apartment machine is the bottleneck
In-unit machines are convenient until the load is a comforter, a pile of towels, or a week of family laundry. A building laundry room can work if the machines are free and working. Neither one is a failure if you take the bulky load somewhere sized for it.
Self-service washes at Wash Bodega start at $3.25; the final vend price depends on machine size and is posted in store. Large-capacity machines are the reason many nearby apartments bring bedding here.
