This is an old building, and some of the concrete is in need of repair, but that is my ONLY criticism, and I know that in the current economy that would be impractical. I likes everything else. The management and staff are efficient and friendly, the garden is beautiful, and the bird-watcjing opportunities from the balcony are excellent!
