Been here almost a year - great place to live! Nice apartments - historic loft with exposed brick, wood floors, good appliances and cabinets. Friendly staff. Excellent response time on maintenance requests. Cool amenities including a game room and music practice rooms. Biggest bonus is location- adjacent to Mears Park, light rail and multiple bus routes nearby, Plenty of stuff in walking distance - Union Depot, farmers market, library, river, Saints ballpark, restaurants, Skyway, and whatever events/festivals going on in downtown Saint Paul. Highly recommend living here.
