Should’ve read the comments before considering this place. Tried to get simple information about leasing and got connected with a man named Avery. Turns out he’s just an AI chatbot that’s gone rogue because he’ll schedule tour appointments for you only for you to show up and have no one there to meet u. This building answers no calls, they answer no emails, leasing office is always light off. Either they’re all dead or the entire building admin is run by AI. If it helps anyone, there’s another similar type leasing company called ArtHaus that has similarly priced units some as low as $1300 (average around $1500). They do actually have live human beings who help.

Been living here for over 2 years. Really love the area and the price for the room. I recently had a problem with the hot water and Lele took care of it the next day with the great Property repair man Bruce. Really appreciate lele’s help and personable conversation.

I lived there for more than a year. The building is renovated, clean and quiet. The area in Downtown close to everything. As of my experience, the management service and maintenance is great, I’d say thank you to Lele she is so helpful, and to everyone who works there, I really enjoyed living there.

If I could give no stars I would. I had a viewing scheduled for 12:45 today and no one showed up. I called the number provided 4 times and all calls were met with a voicemail. Wasted gas and my time since I came from San Jose just to be stood up. Very unprofessional.

I would not do any business with this property. I have been waiting for $200 deposit that I have left and have not received it for over two months going on three months. All phones are answered by AI in messages are always full so you cannot leave any messages and there’s no way to receive your deposit back So do not leave one. I advised everyone to run and find somewhere that’s being ran by human beings.

Good luck reaching an actual leasing person. Scheduled multiple times and was never met with a person. Doors locked.

I went there for a tour on an appointment , and nobody is there 🤔. I saw a few reviews about this and I went there anyways . Don't even think about having a tour. I don't know who is running this property .

The leasing agent was impossible to get a hold of at the time of my tuesday 9am scheduled tour. The bot did not know how to resolve the problem.
