Adorable and affordable! Really great 1 bedroom that was recently renovated. The quality of materials and construction was better than the supposed luxury apartment I was previously in. Windows everywhere and Nest thermostat. Shared wifi included so if you need secure wifi you're better off getting your own but a super nice convenience. Everything is keypad secured so no keys to lose. Keon and the staff are so amazing I thought it was a scam! They were super nice about that too and the owner was super responsive and made me feel not as stupid as I was. I'm super happy to move in and such a good vibe here. Also Lexington Market right across the street 3min walk to UM Baltimore and 20 min walk to Johns Hopkins. Street parking is metered but seems always available and not patrolled.
