Review from the web

I’ve look at quite a few apartments and have fell in love with other ones but this one was the one not only was my apartment and view to my liking! The staff made it even better and no question was a dumb question to them! The property manager Erika made me feel so welcome and like I had already live there for years such a clean and friendly environment! If I could give this place 10 stars I would!
