Lovely Place to Call Home

I just moved in, and I love my spacious and open apartment. The plank wood-like flooring throughout is fantastic, and the light, bright color palette on the walls adds to the overall appeal. The Amazon lockers is a great convenience for me, as I do a lot of online shopping. The management team has been nice and accommodating; I wanted a first-floor unit with a view, and they were able to provide that. The only downside is that they don't allow large dogs, but overall, it is a lovely place to call home.
