Reviews

Former tenant·1 hour ago

Good building and units , ok amenities

Pros

The units are very well managed and clean. I lived here for a month as corporate housing and had a great experience with it. The staffs will drop off the delivery packages to your door. It’s not 24 hrs doorman tho.

Cons

The area is a bit noise and lack of privacy. The pedestrians and the buildings on the other side can see through everything.

Decent visit for short term

Pros

It’s a nice apartment with big windows. I had no problems. The doorman on the weekends are so sweet

Cons

There are 2 doorman. One is so sweet (the weekend, young guy). The other doorman (middle aged guy) is not so much. I was asking for a smoking area because I know that it’s a smoke free apartment and he made me uncomfortable and implied that if I smoke I’ll get a bad review. Kinda threatening. I don’t wanna smoke in the apartment or break rules, that’s why I’m asking him but he was not helpful at all.
