This is a 1-bedroom apartment on the top (6th) floor of the 8 1/2 Canal apartment building. Don't have to worry about upstairs neighbors causing a ruckus! This unit is also quite literally right around the corner from this...
building's garbage/recycling room, which grants easy access for waste disposal.

It comes with lots of furnishing and plenty of space to add your own touch and really make this place your home!
More specifically it comes furnished with a couch, a work desk, a dining table, a coffee table, 2 side tables, 2 pairs of rollable drawers, 2 sturdy chairs, 1 cushioned rocking chair, and a main shelf. It also has an open plan closet in the bedroom.

I am currently living here and am reletting this apartment for this next year's lease (August 1st, 2025 - July 31st, 2026).

Fast speed WiFi

The unit comes with 2 TVs, one of them in the main living space, and the other in the bedroom.

Included dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave, oven, and refrigerator/freezer. You can also easily put in service requests if anything in your apartment breaks, which is speedily taken care of by the building's maintenance team!

Lots of cabinet space in the mini-kitchen area. Included bathroom that's entered from the bedroom.
