Sweet Spot in the Center of it All
I loved this place. Now, it is a bit noisy, but that doesn't bother me. I liked the big windows, the cleanliness, and the spaciousness. Having laundry was great too. I had problems checking in and getting the wifi password. The management group kept telling me they sent me emails -- never got the. So I had to call them quite a few times to figure out where the key was, and how to get on the wifi. That is my only critique, otherwise it was great!

Great little apartment in an awesome location. Windows do let every tiny sound through, from the neighbours to passersby on the street and restaurants below
