The tour was great. I only toured an apartment this time because I've previously toured the property prior to this visit. Maddie the Leasing Agent is always a pleasure to talk to. Very helpful and kind. We always have a good time. She let me tour the apartment by myself so I could spend as much time in it as I wanted without being or feeling rushed. It was an amazing experience. The apartment was gorgeous and All me. I loved it! It was a first floor unit so Maddie is going to contact me if a top floor unit becomes available. I'm excited! The building is very clean. The finishes and decor is really nice. I love it!
