I lived here for nearly two years and had a great experience. Maintenance requests were addressed the next day, the management team was very supportive, and the location was convenient for commuting to the University or other places, thanks to multiple bus options. Additionally, having SNAP right across the road was very useful during late nights when buses were not running.
