22 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: it's clean and small, most of the people are similar minded (= not party people); it's central located and you get a discount at the local coffee shop; there are also pick-ups from the bus and the train I believe

Disliked: the manager of the place was sometimes a bit harsh and seemed a bit stressed out - maybe because of all the building stuff going on at the moment?? But her colleague was really nice and helpful.

Customer review

06 December 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great value in PR. It's an old building..as in before soundproofing, but there are a coffee shop and great pub within 3 blocks--pizza across the street and a great lawn with gazebo and bbq. I was only there for one night in December but I would certainly go back. With all that lawn space i wonder if they have lawn darts or horseshoes....hmm
