    Nice people and cozy apartments
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The people are really nice and respectful, the building itself is pretty quiet. Nice apartments even tho a little pricey sometimes. Neighborhood is well connected.
    Cons:
    The building is a little old and could use some renovations. The neighborhood is loud but except some muffled music we don’t really hear much from our apartment.
