“All are great! Sometimes packages don’t get put in the package room - but it seems like all tenants are honest so packages don’t go missing. Just wish they were more secured. Especially when there is a room specific for packages”

“Front desk and management are excellent. Responding immediately. I didn’t get the apartment I expected because they never let me check it before I signed the contract which was a disappointment but any way it’s nice and pleasant for me. They told me I could move to another apartment tough still on the waiting list (unconvinced yet). Wonderful terrace.”
