With responsive mangement, expert maintenance, a charming and expert door staff, and exquisite amenities, the Bernardin is a great place to live. It is hard to believe that a rental building is able to offer conditions that are better than the conditions in some condominium buildings located in the same neighborhood. I feel most fortunate that I found my way into the Bernardin.

I had a great welcome here. The elevators are quick and never cramped. The pool deck is very nice and the gym is always quiet. My favorite part is the coffee machine downstairs.
