Submitted by a verified resident of the apartment community. Participating residents may receive reward points in exchange for posting a review during their lease term, regardless of the nature of the review.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.
