The Oliver

Anyone have strong opinions or experience with these apartments? Google reviews are a mix, I got to move out within a couple weeks and it’s the most sure option so far given my short timeline. Otherwise if anyone is looking for a roommate with a cat let me know. I’m employed and quiet. I’ve tried some apps but no luck so far
