This unit is on the seventh floor of the East Lofts, a mid-rise condo tower built in 2010. The current owner is a model who has been living here with her boyfriend, but now she’s travelling to Singapore for school and work. In the past, she has used Airbnb to fill the apartment while she’s away for short periods of time. Now she’s looking for a tenant who will stay at least three months.
