    I’ve been living in this apartment building for a while now, and it’s been awesome. They’ve got cleaners who keep the place spotless, which is a huge plus. The amenities are great—I use them all the time. The view facing the courtyard is beautiful, especially in the warmer months. The staff are super friendly, and I love that the building is pet-friendly. Overall, I’d totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfy, pet-friendly place to live.
