2009-02-09T07:45:01-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Everything you see in previous reviews is true. In fact I have quite a bit to add and it might sound redundant, but at least future apartment-seeking individuals will get the point:1. Parking is absolutely the worst. When I signed the lease in Aug 2008, I also rented a garage ... [click to read full apartment review]
