I am enjoying the space a lot. As a person who works from home, staying here reinterates the saying you get what you pay for. The staff and community is friendly. The units high ceilings and windows create an open feel to their spacious modern living rooms. I haven't found a space comparable anywhere else in Charlotte. You can't go wrong with a renivated mill unit. Hope to have you as a neighbor.
