We have lived here for about a year now, we have zero complaints. Plenty of parking; the area is super convenient and central to a lot of places we go to in San Diego. The trolley is across the street, which is great for sports events and exploring the city more. The unit itself is cozy, sleek, up-to-date, and we have not had any concerns with our appliances or amenities. Neighbors are all nice and keep to themselves. We are very happy to be renewing our lease for another year!
