- "Property was lovely, quiet but central location. Walkable to restaurants, shops and I did walk to the grocery too (was a little longer of a trek but worth not pulling the car out again). Parking was a bit difficult as the carport is quite tight but it was nice to have reserved parking, and most things are walkable anyways, so not a huge issue. It was nice to have a 2 story unit but all bedrooms and bathroom were on the ground floor. Apartment was clean and had full kitchen. Property manager was also very friendly and helpful.
