"The staff who work there are very sweet. The bedrooms themselves are very basic but there is laundry on the premises and it’s very walkable. Pay extra for parking but you get a discount. Not luxurious but gets the job done for a fair price."

"We loved this apartment. It was in a great location and the views were incredible. It was spacious and clean. We would have given it a 5 if improvements were made to the bathrooms. The quality of the showers was less than desirable, and there was a lack of convenient hot water for 4 people."
