My home. Moved in a month ago when I arrived in the City from Canada with no more than a suitcase and a job offer, and it has been wonderful living in this community of highly intelligent and delightfully quirky individuals. Was originally planning on staying just a few months... but I am now considering staying here longer term because 20mission is awesome!
