We had a long stay at LUMA apartments - 3 months, and it was a great city base. The room was just big enough for us, and the facilities and amenities were clean and modern. There is a euro laundry (washer and stacked dryer) that helped up during our long stay. We didn't get to use the balcony much, but it was good to have for the view of the west (we loved the view of the city lights at night). The free parking at the basement was a boon, and kept our car out of the elements. The common areas are cleaned everyday, and the secure entry was much appreciated. Communication was great, too!
