Great place to stay! My favorite part about living here is the roof top. Being able to hang out, grill, and chill by a fire is the best, especially with a view!! So far I've been here almost a year and have had no issues with the building or staff that was not quickly resolved. I do recommend! Management has changed to a new company since most of the last reviews. But personally, I've enjoyed it here.
