It was nice for the prove and what’s included. The kitchen cabinets and appliances were outdated but it was with the cheastest unit so that’s normal. I would live here and not be embarrassed if I have people over

Property

Very overpriced for the tiny apartment you’d be getting. The lowest rent advertised is actually for their outdated tiny floor plan, no dishwasher or washer/dryer, a stove and oven that looks like an easy bake oven, a cramped bathroom, almost no storage space, and no where to put a kitchen table or anywhere to eat.
