My apartment at the Nissen is lovely, quiet, in the heart of the most vibrant portion of town. I have enjoyed the street musicians, sidewalk cafes, restaurants, etc. You can go from listening to someone playing soulful saxophone while eating the best pizza in the world to a love roof top pool area where you can see the light of the entire city right up to the mountains. I would rate Nissen a 5. The staff is wonderful and helpful. Knowing that I am from out of state, they always are careful to point out fun things that they think may interest me. I am only sad that I am not here every weekend to enjoy the city - and this grand building that has truly become my home.
