Price is a bit steep for what you get, but overall it's that bad. Maintenance is probably my biggest issue, you don't always have hot water, and it can take a while to get major appliances fixed. I also never got a mail key

8 1/2 Canal Street apartments is a great fit for me! I value safety and privacy a lot. The apartment is able to give me these things with great amenities like the court yard and the gym at a good price.

I have had an overall good experience at 8 1/2 Canal Street. I didn't have any major problems at all, but I would say that there were a few instances in which the building was having issues that were not ideal situations.

I have a positive experience with 8 1/2 Canal Street while attending Virginia Commonwealth University. The staff is very nice and is composed of a lot of students. The amenities of the apartment building are very convenient, with things like a gym, study
rooms, a computer lab, etc. that make this a great place to live. m

I had the best experience while living at 8 1/2. Living there has thought me a lot. it is very peaceful and no one will ever bother you. it is also very safe, you need a key in order to get anywhere inside this building, you even need to key to get on
the elevator. In conclusion, I would highly recommend it.
