Nice place and room lots features-but sadly I guess due to housing shortage or DV or who knows, people seemed to be living there-I have bit too much empathy, PTSD triggering when see people on hard times. Went home feeling guilty-stupid I know. Will return as no complaint business just lot people seemingly on hard times.
