    love my apartment, very peaceful and quiet. dont like that the heat and air is controlled by the building because it gets hot and cold at the wrong time. Also a lot of things were broke when i moved in. for example, my tub doesn't work. My door knob to my bedroom randomly broke and wont screw back on. Other than that, everything else is fine. I love the cleaning ladies!!!!! Great job to them

    I have lived here for about 7 months now and have really enjoyed this apartment! The location is unmatched, and the apartment is spacious and fits me and my partner perfectly. Being in Center City obviously comes with some cons, like the loud drivers on Walnut Street, but the proximity that we are to so many amazing restaurants, parks, and other public amenities completely outweighs the negatives. The staff are extremely helpful and kind, and the maintenance staff are quick and efficient. There are some aspects of upkeep that could be a bit better. For example, our apartment was not cleaned upon moving in, and the washer and dryer that are shared amongst everyone in the building are not great quality (my clothes always end up still wet after a drying cycle). There have been some other little things, mainly pertaining to cleanliness in the basement and upon moving in, but in all I feel this unit is worth it!

    I got what I pay for and I’m happy with my choice. My apartment might lack luxuries and certain amenities but the location makes up for it. I like the fixtures, the storage space and the high ceilings that help cool down the space. Kichen area is smaller than optimal but i moslty eat out so its not a problem for me. So far I haven’t had any maintenance issues so i can’t rate their efficciency at dealing with management tickets. Although, the asistant property manager seems to be readily available and always replies to my emails in 1-3 hrs. I recommend this apartments for young people withput family who don’t mind guving up some amenities in lieu of a great location at a reasonable price
