I think AKA UC is a decent property especially if you go to school or work in the UC area. It is relatively modern, has nice views and a good community.

AKA University City has excellent apartments, especially furniture are really high quality.
I really enjoy to take a swim at Level 28.
I'd love to have a pool table or bbq, hope they will add those features!
