I love it here a lot of my friends live here too so it’s a lot of fun. The apartments are very nice and the rooms are actually a very good size. Only thing is maintenance is somewhat slow even if it’s high priority

Very comforting I really enjoy living here near everyone and everything plus it has a lot of transportation options. I would totally suggest a guess parking area because parking on the street can be very stressful

The experience is good. The apartment is clean and the environment is quiet. I just think some kitchen appliances need to be added, like a microwave.
