Place is nice and quite easy to access, walkable to the city, comfortable and very clean. We only had a construction problem in the house next door as they started working at 6:27AM making a lot of noise but is understandable that this didn’t depend on the property manager. The only thing is that I received too many messages, other than that place is very nice.
