Music Store & Apartment Reviews
Brickset
“This is another fun Heartlake City set! I like seeing all the different kinds of shops that the Friends team is bringing to populate the downtown. I love the brick built notes on the building, and having another mascot for the business. The piano key staircase leading to the... More apartment is such a fun touch.”
