I love living here! My studio is cozy, the building feels safe, and the location is perfect. Everything is well taken care of and it’s usually really quiet, which I appreciate. The only thing I wish they could fix is the humidity in the building. It can feel a bit damp sometimes. Other than that, it’s been a great place to call home!
