    Apartment should be non-smoking.

    The Apartment is great and has potential. The only problem is this a non-smoking building so tenants are constantly smoking so you can smell the smoke in your apartment through your floors and walls, especially in your closet. They are renovating the apartments which is a great thing but the allowing of people to smoke should be banned!!! Also no cameras.
