     Property

    The kitchen was so small that the refrigerator blocked what minimal storage was available in that room. The bldg. manager suggested moving the refrigerator to the postage-sized main studio room which would have taken up valuable space. The pictures on your website were not the same as the apartment, especially the bathroom. Consequently, it was a waste of my time. However, the grounds and garden on the property were beautiful!

     Property

    Crowded and little natural light. Kitchen was not fully equipped. Too cluttered to see spaces. Outdated bathroom.

     Management

    He was in a rush and seemed inpatient.
