1 month stay Review
I love the overall security of the Apartment, amenities which my kids will definitely maximize. Rooms are clean, smells clean and new and you get to have free wifi and coffee. There is also a place where you can study personally where its really awesome for me :)
there's also an option for you to get free for a month which is very helpful especially for starters in the US like me :)

Modern Yet Cozy
My fiancé and I moved in a little over a month ago. We really enjoy how welcoming and charming the apartments are. We also like the historical factor. The apartments are very modern and the lighting is great!! But they’re also very cozy, welcoming, and warm.
