Mia, large studio (likely unit 513)

Updated November 10, 2026 · By b. (findwithb.com)

A recently renovated 606 sq ft large studio, most likely unit 513 on the fifth floor, which the agent named as the apartment available to move into. It has one continuous plank floor, dark woodgrain cabinets to the ceiling, quartz look counters, a slide in Frigidaire glass top range under a glass island hood, a Summit bottom freezer refrigerator, an 18 in dishwasher that looks unused, and a 2021 Mitsubishi ductless heat pump. The trade offs: one standard height slider is the only window, the sleeping alcove is open to the room, the hood likely recirculates, the bathroom shows moisture damage above the tub, a neighbor's house looks onto the balcony, and no smoke alarm was seen.

Inside the apartment

Walking in

You step into a narrow, low ceilinged vestibule, a dark charcoal door behind you and the bathroom wall at your side, and then the room opens and stretches away from you. The galley kitchen glows warm under a round ceiling light and under cabinet strips, dark woodgrain cabinets climb all the way to the ceiling, and a sleek glass and steel hood floats over the peninsula. Far down the long, empty, uncluttered room, a single slider frames a bright yellow house and tall trees, and the cooler daylight there pulls you toward it.

Light and windows

Light comes from one end only. The standard height slider faces northeast, so it catches early morning sun: from first light until late morning in summer, only a short early spell in late fall and barely any in midwinter, softened further by the trees, the neighboring houses and the balcony overhead. By afternoon the balcony and the near houses sit in cool, even shade while distant treetops still glow, so screens stay glare free and the room never bakes. The daylight is soft and cool by the window and fades as it travels down the deep room; the open sleeping alcove borrows only part of it, and the kitchen and the windowless bathroom at the entry end live on electric light. The living room and alcove have no ceiling light, so evenings mean lamps, with the kitchen glowing warm and amber at the far end.

Space and layout

The studio is one long, open run: a narrow entry hall with the closed walk in closet doorway beside the front door, then the galley kitchen and its deep peninsula, then a wide living room that ends at the slider and a shallow covered balcony. One continuous gray brown plank floor flows through everything, even the bathroom, with no thresholds, so the whole place feels seamless and step free. The bed tucks into a shallow alcove beside the bathroom door, framed by a short stub wall but with no door, so it reads as part of the room rather than a bedroom; a queen fits, a king is tight. The living room is genuinely roomy, with a long unbroken wall for a sofa plus a desk or a small dining table. Hosting is easy and sociable across the peninsula, but guests will see your bed. The balcony is a narrow strip, with the heat pump at one end and a closed storage closet at the other, enough for a pair of chairs in the shade.

Sound during the visit

This is the quiet side of the building. The balcony faces back yards and older houses rather than a street, and the sound recorded out there stayed low, with no traffic noise noted. The main local noise is the heat pump's outdoor unit, which sits at one end of the balcony a few steps from the slider and hums whenever it runs; its indoor head above the slider adds a soft fan sound to the window end of the room. Inside, no doors separate the kitchen, living room and bed, so a dishwasher, a running hood or someone moving around reaches every corner, including your pillow. Resident reviews mention thin walls, elevator noise and distant train sounds, but the tour could not check any of that.

Kitchen and appliances

Recorded finding · Read in the source

Refrigerator running at 35 on eco setting

  • The interior display read 35 with the eco indicator lit and the interior light on; the fridge was empty and clean.

    Read in the sourceTour reference 1 · Tour reference 2

    The stored frame check does not independently establish this detail. Confirm before relying on it.

Why it may matter: Cold and ready at move in.

Recorded finding · External research

No icemaker or water dispenser

  • The model has no icemaker or dispenser; two ice cube trays sat in the top freezer drawer.

    External researchTour reference 1

Why it may matter: Ice from trays only; no filter to replace.

Recorded finding · Read in the source

Compact 28 in, 16.8 cu ft refrigerator

  • Label volumes total 16.79 cu ft (11.68 fresh food, 5.11 freezer), below a typical full size apartment refrigerator.

    Read in the sourceTour reference 1

Why it may matter: Comfortable for one or two people; tight for big weekly shops.

Recorded finding · Inference

Refrigerator door opens toward the sink run at the entry end

  • Hinges are on the hall side and the handle on the sink side, so the open door shields the hall and the interior faces the sink and counter; the refrigerator is the first appliance inside the entry.

    Inference. Recorded confidence 60%Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2

Why it may matter: Groceries go straight from the door to the refrigerator; an open door briefly narrows the entry passage.

Recorded finding · Inference

Microwave built March 2018, near the end of a typical life

  • Label date March 2018 puts the microwave about 8.6 years into a 9 year typical life.

    Inference. Recorded confidence 65%Tour reference 1

Why it may matter: Likely the first appliance to need replacement; cheap and quick to swap.

Ask the manager: Will the 2018 microwave be replaced if it fails?

Recorded finding · Read in the source

Small 0.7 cu ft, 700 W microwave

  • Rated output 700 W per the label; GE lists 0.7 cu ft capacity.

    Read in the sourceTour reference 1

Why it may matter: Slower heating and small turntable; fine for reheating, limiting for microwave cooking.

Recorded finding · Observed in the recording

Small stain on the microwave label

  • A small brown spot marks the rating label inside the door frame; the cavity is otherwise clean.

    Observed in the recording. Recorded confidence 60%Tour reference 1

Why it may matter: Cosmetic only.

Recorded finding · Not observed in the recording

Range rating plate not filmed

  • The storage drawer and oven frame label were not shown, so FFES3025PS is a design match rather than a confirmed model.

    Not observed in the recordingTour reference 1 · Tour reference 2

Why it may matter: Specs are likely but not certain.

Ask the manager: Ask for the range model and serial (behind the storage drawer).

Recorded finding · Observed in the recording

Dark residue spots inside the oven

  • Small dark spots and splatter marks remain on the oven back wall and floor around the exposed bake element.

    Observed in the recording. Recorded confidence 60%Tour reference 1

Why it may matter: Previous use; a self clean cycle would likely clear it.

Ask the manager: Was the oven cleaned at turnover?

Recorded finding · Inference

No convection or air fry

Why it may matter: Bakers who rely on convection or air fry will need a countertop oven.

Recorded finding · Observed in the recording

Cooktop in an open peninsula facing the galley

  • The range is set into the peninsula with open counter behind it toward the living room and no wall behind the cooktop; the cook faces the sink wall about one galley width away.

    Observed in the recordingTour reference 1 · Tour reference 2

    The stored frame check does not independently establish this detail. Confirm before relying on it.

Why it may matter: Easy to turn between sink and stove and to talk with guests, but splatter and heat spread over the back counter and toward the living area; keep the back counter clear of paper and fabric.

Recorded finding · Inference

Hood probably recirculates instead of venting outside

  • A louvered slot is exposed at the top of the chimney cover just below the ceiling, the outlet arrangement used when a chimney hood returns filtered air to the room.

    Inference. Recorded confidence 55%Tour reference 1

Why it may matter: Heat, moisture and part of the odor stay in the studio, including the sleeping area.

Ask the manager: Is the hood ducted outdoors? If not, are charcoal filters installed and replaced?

Recorded finding · Not observed in the recording

Hood fan and lights not switched on

  • The hood was not run, so fan speed, noise and lights were not verified.

    Not observed in the recordingTour reference 1

Ask the manager: Run the hood at all speeds at move in.

Recorded finding · Observed in the recording

Streaks on the hood stainless

  • Light streaks and smudges are visible on the stainless underside around the filter.

    Observed in the recording. Recorded confidence 55%Tour reference 1

Why it may matter: Cosmetic.

Recorded finding · Observed in the recording

Sink base dry with no leak marks

  • The white sink base floor showed no standing water, stains or swelling around the disposer and supplies.

    Observed in the recording. Recorded confidence 60%Tour reference 1

    The stored frame check does not independently establish this detail. Confirm before relying on it.

Why it may matter: No sign of active leaks at the tour.

Recorded finding · Observed in the recording

Drywall patch around the supply valve

  • A paler rectangular patch surrounds the angle stop on the back wall of the sink base, consistent with a plumbing repair or renovation work.

    Observed in the recording. Recorded confidence 55%Tour reference 1

Why it may matter: Cosmetic; worth a look for any past leak.

Ask the manager: Was there a past leak under the kitchen sink?

Recorded finding · Read in the source

Installer tape label left under an upper cabinet

  • Masking tape under an upper cabinet reads Mia Towers #14 B 10.5 x 17.5, apparently a fabrication or installation note.

    Read in the sourceTour reference 1

Why it may matter: Cosmetic; suggests the cabinets were installed in a building wide renovation.

Recorded finding · Not observed in the recording

No built in trash pull out seen

  • Freestanding trash and recycling bins stood at the end of the peninsula; no pull out bin cabinet was opened or seen.

    Not observed in the recording. Recorded confidence 55%Tour reference 1

Why it may matter: Bins take floor space in the open studio.

Recorded finding · Inference

Prep space is mostly on the peninsula

  • Counter runs on both sides of the sink and a large deep surface on the peninsula behind and beside the range; the landing beside the range on the drawer side is short.

    Inference. Recorded confidence 55%Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3

Why it may matter: Plenty of room to prep or serve on the peninsula; hot pans have a short landing on the right of the range.

Recorded finding · Observed in the recording

Only a 4 in splash; painted wall behind the sink

  • Above the short counter splash the wall is painted textured drywall, with small marks already visible above the faucet.

    Observed in the recording. Recorded confidence 60%Tour reference 1

Why it may matter: Water and grease marks on paint need gentle cleaning; harder to keep pristine than tile.

Recorded finding · Inference

Two countertop receptacle locations seen

Why it may matter: Countertop appliances cluster near two spots; cords may cross the prep area.

Ask the manager: Are there other kitchen receptacles not seen in the video?

Recorded finding · Observed in the recording

Kitchen fire extinguisher provided

  • A small extinguisher with intact pin and tamper tag is strapped inside the sink base.

    Observed in the recordingTour reference 1

Why it may matter: Know where it is; it sits across the galley from the range.

Ask the manager: When was it last inspected?

Recorded finding · Inference

Cook's view of the kitchen

  • A compact galley plus cooking peninsula: radiant four element range with self clean oven but no convection, a likely recirculating island hood, an 18 in dishwasher, a 16.8 cu ft refrigerator, a 0.7 cu ft microwave, one large undermount sink with pull down faucet, a disposer, under cabinet lights and generous peninsula counter. Storage is modest and countertop outlets are few.

    Inference. Recorded confidence 60%Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3 · Tour reference 4

Why it may matter: Good for everyday cooking for one or two; serious cooks will miss strong ventilation, convection and fridge space.

Recorded finding · Observed in the recording

Unit 2 kitchen is renovated to a different specification than Unit 1

  • Visible differences: Unit 2 has dark woodgrain slab cabinets with metal tab pulls where Unit 1 has cherry colored cabinets; Unit 2 has a slide in glass top range with a ceiling hung chimney hood where Unit 1 has a freestanding coil top range under an over the range microwave; Unit 2 has a countertop microwave in an upper cabinet niche; Unit 2 has a front control dishwasher where Unit 1 has controls on the top edge of the door; Unit 1 shows an InSinkErator Badger disposer while the Unit 2 disposer brand was not legible. The speaker on entering Unit 2 said it is a lot different.

  • Limitation: Controls are inside the fresh food compartment, so temperature can only be checked with the door open

    Observed in the recordingTour reference 1
  • Practical interpretation: Fine for a single person or couple who shop a few times a week; households that batch cook or buy in bulk will find 11.7 cu ft of fresh food space tight

    Inference
  • Practical interpretation: No icemaker means no water line to leak, but ice must come from trays

    Inference
  • Practical interpretation: Stainless and electronic controls look current; the brand is less common, so parts and service may take longer than for GE or Whirlpool

    Inference
  • Recorded quality assessment: average. Niche apartment oriented brand on an imported platform, not a mainstream premium make; Stainless doors, LED lighting and an electronic control panel are above the basic white top freezer tier; No icemaker and modest 16.8 cu ft capacity

Remote worker view of the studio systems

  • Internet would arrive by the coaxial jack beside the balcony slider with a resident router; the kitchen phone jack is legacy. The heat pump head is near the slider, so a desk there gets the most direct heating and cooling but also the head's fan noise; a desk at the entry end is far from both the head and the coax jack. Only two countertop receptacle locations are in the kitchen, so the office will draw on living room outlets.

Source and limits

Source: b.’s visit and the structured apartment record. Interior conditions can change after the visit. Light and sound reflect the recorded circumstances, not every time of day. The record is not a professional inspection or a guarantee of availability.

Covered: the whole studio including the kitchen, bathroom, sleeping alcove and balcony, plus (from the Unit 1 video) the pool, gym, call box, lobby, elevator, corridor, one shared laundry room and the leasing brochure. Not covered: the unit plaque and the corridor outside this door, the walk in closet and the balcony storage closet (both left closed), the range drawer, the breaker panel, any test of the heat pump, hood, hot water or water pressure, and the apartment at night.

Confidence values are the original record’s estimates, not calibrated probabilities. Some records include a stored frame check that does not establish the statement by itself; those details are marked for confirmation. Research and interpretation remain separate from observations.

Tour references and research sources

Tour references identify the stored evidence record, with the position in its source clip where available. Different clips have separate clocks. Original media and raw labels are not part of this public release. External sources support research, not proof that an appliance worked in the apartment.
