Reviews from the web

Showing 6 highest rated

I have lived in this building almost a year and a half. The bedroom is small. That is the only cons. The place is new and modern. I like the staff, they are really nice and respond quickly. The internet is good. The neighborhood is calm and the Bear Line stops almost at the door of the building.
