Have been living at aura for almost three years now. There have been several changes in managers and through it all they have been fantastic. The current manager especially is kind, and all the staff are friendly and responsive. It is an older property, which means occasional repairs, but through it all they have done things correctly, and been very helpful. The property is a beautiful mid-century modern and well renovated with a tasteful balance of retaining the old charms and updating appliances and flooring to be a very comfortable and affordable option for those wishing to be a stones throw from downtown with easy access to light rail, the good safeway, and now a natural grocers, as well as the melrose strip (the gayborhood) and all the amenities offered by midtown living.
