Went to visit some friends who lived here last night and I have to say I was very impressed with Metro 808!
The pool area and grounds in general are really beautiful! Outdoor tv, instant electric fireplace, gym!
Their apartment was huge! I am more than a bit jealous of the space. The bathroom storage was plentiful (a plus), as were the closets! The kitchen area had lovely dark wood floors and granite counter-tops...just an impressive space all around! Plus their were little extras like built in desks and amazing custom shades for the balcony windows.
I was lucky enough to attend one of their twice-monthly community events. We sampled some delicious wine (no 2-buck chuck here!) and wonderful bites from Bistro La Bon. Speaking of which, go to Bistro and get their coconut macaroons...still warm, freshly baked, and simply incredible.
The only slight downside was that the halls smelled of garbage. They have a valet garbage system that you are required to use. We had one at the Millennium Southend but it was only early morning hours on weekdays and the absence of carpet and constant cleaning of the halls made it impossible to detect any residual smells.
Overall though I am pretty excited to know people who live here because that pool is just calling my name! (and because the people I know are pretty fun to hang out with too!)
