Other Things to Note:

My building has been fully cosmetically remodeled but the bones are still old. Although there are mini-splits, the place may still struggle to hold to a perfect temperature in more extreme weather. The walls/ceilings can also be pretty thin so please keep in mind that there will be guests in other units during your stay! Shared coin-operated laundry is in the basement of the larger blue building next door.
