The Breakers at Edgewater Beach

My experience

I have a one bedroom apt which is what I had before I moved here. It's a little smaller but I like it. All my furniture fit except 1 table (which I do not miss). I feel safe here. Also like the fact that if I haven't left my room or opened the door a staff person comes to check to see if I am okay.
