Clean, quiet. Private apartments that allow you to bring your own furniture, and control your own thermostat. Priced competitive compared to other facilities. One star reserved for meal service is unappetizing, but heard they are aware and are willing to hear concerns and review alternatives food choices, and even changed to a different food vendor.
