Reviews from the web
Showing 8 highest rated
I use to live at Union Plaza almost 10 years ago and I loved it when I was there. I really loved my apartment I could see everything downtown. I never really used my lights. Because all I had to do was just open up my blinds to my windows at night and just let the lights shine in.
