I really enjoy living here so far. Great appliances, nice flooring, and great location in the central of downtown - only 5mins walk to LRT. And great great great staff! I was impressed by Ishak, who is super friendly, patient and helpful!!! I applied [for] this apartment in the very last minute...so I was rushed to look for a new place. I am appreciative of Ishak’s service.

This place is really convenient for life, most of the necessary shops and services are within walking distance. This is great not only for newcomers, but also for people who have been living in Canada for a long time. The house itself is clean and pleasant. The manager is very polite, patient, he will help you with any questions.

Lived here while working at the hospital—easy walk, even in poor weather. Also an easy walk to Whyte Avenue...I always felt safe and the office staff and building employees were always very helpful and friendly whenever I needed anything and I wouldn’t hesitate to live there again if I move back to Edmonton.
