Review:
The first things you notice are the CFL bulbs, windows that actually open for fresh air, and the recycle bins. As a "green" person, this makes you look around in detail, then you find the sheet/towel reminders, shower heads, dishware to be washed with "green" detergents and non-toxic cleaners. You have to ask the manager, but when you do, find out that extra money was spent on paints with no fumes, energy-efficient appliances, and how the building is cooled in summer. Such a pleasure to have a no-smoking building instead of air fresheners trying to hide the smell. The materials used in the original construction, the beautiful heavy woods and thick walls, make living in close quarters quietly and moderately cosy.
