    Apt: Great we did this virtually and the apt was just as expected. Amenities: We moved in during re-modeling and they are still working through it but I appreciate how they are investing in the building. Neighborhood: Super safe & quiet!

    This place is a good stay for the price you pay. And it is only getting better with the management taking steps to upgrade its facilities. It's located in a quiet neighborhood, yet inside the much-coveted SLU area.

    Good space for the price-- things break pretty easily, though. Flooding dishwasher upon moving in. Weird situation with the parking garage. But otherwise, I'm satisfied.
