Layout can feel closed in
Some residents found the layout less open than expected.
A couple of reviewers felt the space was cramped or more closed-in, including comments about narrower hallways and a smaller sense of openness. One reviewer still called the place clean and nice, suggesting the main issue was layout rather than care or condition. Those concerns may matter most for people who prioritize wider common areas or easier walking space.
