Cost can be a sticking point
Some residents say pricing and deposit expectations can be stressful.
While many reviews are positive, two residents raise cost concernsâone mentions leaving partly due to price, and another describes the rent as a bit high for the area. The same negative review also complains about security deposit handling, including extensive cleaning that still didnât meet expectations. These comments stand out as the main financial drawbacks in the set.

Not all experiences are perfectly quiet for everyone: one resident reports thin walls and recommends earplugs, while another mentions noisy neighbors. A separate review calls out frequent police or ambulance sirens. This suggests noise concerns may depend on the building, unit location, or local circumstances rather than being universal.
