Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Fine with some hiccups

Pros

- free amenities (gym, indoor common area, rooftop) - good price - friendly and response building staff - solid location

Cons

we had a minor cockroach issue and our apartment in general did not seem sturdy. our bathroom towel rail would often fall and some drawers in the kitchen broke. the walls were quite thin and we had loud and irresponsive neighbors. there were often loud noises at night (ambulances).
