Location is excellent and the immediately surrounding areas feel clean and safe. Trader Joes is essentially across the street, which was convenient for making a run for water, breakfast foods etc. It was very easy to navigate check in and entering and leaving the apartment and the building. The building is very clean, modern, and felt secure. Parking is readily available around the building, but expect to pay for either 2-hr street parking (~$1-$1.50/hr, free after 10pm) or for parking in an adjacent municipal garage ($10).
