“My only complaint about this place is that since they sold the building, the new owners are completely redesigning. I rented this place because of its minimalist clean vibe and now they want to change everything which is kinda sad. But otherwise it’s a very nice building and the actual apartments are beautiful inside. Really nice pool and overall good value for the price of my rent.”
