Kales is my forever Detroit home. The prices started getting to high for just my solo income so unfortunately I had to leave. But it was honestly HARD. Its a great home. PERFECT location. And I know lots of places say this but there is honestly everything, and way more, than you would ever need within walking distance. Everyone in the building is extremely nice and neighborly. The staff is also amazing. I honestly don't know how someone could have a bad experience there.
