Kenton Place

At first glance, Kenton Place impresses with wooden floors, soapstone kitchen counters and Italian marble baths. Upon closer inspection it becomes obvious that these apartments are made for showing, not for actually living there: One can hardly think of a material less appropriate for a kitchen counter than soapstone (sculptors love it because of its softness...). The protective coating applied to the wooden floors does not appear to be sufficient: They scratch way too easily! The owner, however, does not hesitate to deduct a significant proportion of the security deposit for wear and tear which is unavoidable given the quality of the materials. To sum up: Not to be recommended!
