The place was new and fresh and well appointed. Pools and restaurants were lovely, as was the library and all the public areas. Gardens were nice too. The bedrooms are on the small side and closet space is sparse. A few of the layouts were goofy; one with a living room you would be hard pressed to get a sofa and tv in and it was right in the a pass through area from kitchen to bedrooms. And another where they combined two, one bedroom apartments to make one and the result was a kitchen counter that was 15 feet lon
