Great apartment and location for Dartmouth. Super quick walk to the ferry. The place was clean but the walls were pretty thin and you could hear people in the halls pretty well. There’s also a large crack in the wall but other than that it was a great stay.

The property was spotless. I would have preferred a chair in the corner instead of the huge plant. I had to sit on the bed to eat. The facilities could use a new mattress in the covey beach room. The place was easy to get around and it was priced respectable.
