    I've only been here a few months but it's a very quiet and nice apartment. Some things needed to be fixed but maintenance got to it. Monica and Elba are the best!

    They are working very hard to accommodate and renovate the place, I wouldn't like to say that the interior work is great, however, that is not their fault, since workers do slappy work at times. I think there is space for improvement, in the future will be even better!! I had a geat 1 year living here.

    From the first day, Brian and Prisilia made my move in process smooth. I consider living here a dream manifested. The amenities and attention to detail are amazing! The windows let in natural light and lift the mood every morning. The appliances are top notch...and to have a washer and dryer in unit is such a value. There are so many eateries and goings on in this immediate area to explore, and they are walkable. Full Contentment!

    5/5 Elaine W. on Oct 30, 2024

    Staff is helpful above and beyond. Brian and Priscilia are patient and very courteous!
