Hey, TL: that lower level outdoor space isn’t a balcony. That’s a terrace, and a wraparound one close to 1000 square feet.
I used to live here. What a terrible building all around, from the tenants to the facilities to the location (in a complete dead spot as far as basic groceries/pharmacy/restaurants goes).
