Perfect little one bedroom
Pros
Garbage shoot and recycling closet on every floor made taking out the trash so easy. So much closet space and a huge bathroom. Staff at the reception was always friendly with me. Would have to go there to pick up packages. Had starry internet access which was so cheap and worked great in my small unit Roof access during covid Good neighbors
Cons
Appliances were a little old The heating would get pretty insane. Some units would be miserably hot while my neighbor was freezing. Had some cockroaches but once I got them to seal up the bathroom and under the sink properly it stopped happening. My view faced the grocery store, which was really noisy with trucks and deliveries and glass recycling.
