The Mango Apartments

I've lived here for a year and love it. The location is accessible to anywhere you need to go, and the doormen are absolutely amazing. The downside is it has constant traffic (honking) noise, and sirens for the hospital. I'll be moving due to that.

The kitchen needs some love with it's micro -dorm style... appliances and sink that almost fits every pot and pan - if you count fitting vertically a win leads me to dream of a adult sized appliances. But it's home. There are two big windows that allows in all the light you need and gives you a glimpse of what is happening in and around the area. It's a good size straight square. If it were 10 feet wider and longer it would be even better. It's a good size for one and not sure how couples live in the sames spaces in the neighboring apartments.
