The building concierge cannot really answer questions about the property and I had recurring issues with the television router with nobody to assist me. There's a business line to call, but if you're offsite working all day, they're really not available to answer questions. The link I received did not work and I didn't feel I really had the "instructions" to the apartment. When I was able to call in, the person who answered was very helpful, but overall I felt like customer support was lacking. There was also a lot of early morning noise associated with garbage or delivery trucks servicing the nearby restaurants. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 12 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clare 29 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication So glad I found this place! Just across the street from my cousin's condo so that we could easily spend Thanksgiving with my family. Super clean and tidy and safe. Such a lovely area with lots of restaurants and a CVS on the corner. I did not rent a car, but they provide parking. The gym is really nice! They also have a very nice family center with a pool table and air hockey which my son and I enjoyed. I would say only negatives were that it was a real pita to get into the condo. The key lock they provided did not open and I had to call several times. Fortunately a random guy in the parking area helped me, but I would not recommend their customer service. They did not pick up and were not very friendly when I finally reached them. The place itself is really nice, though I think they should supply more blankets and/or a duvet as my son and I were pretty cold at night. (They supply a sheet and a bedspread and 1 thin blanket). I would totally stay here again though, if only because for me personally it was so close to my cousin across the street and I did not have to uber from further away. Very nice people in the building tho at times was a bit noisy. ##### Clare Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shija 12 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great place!
