Pros: -Great front desk staff. Julien & Celestine were always pleasant & helpful when it came to packages. -Maintenance staff was always prompt with repair requests & sweet. One time, they accidentally broke a small thing of mine (not very expensive) & left a little money for it. -Shola, the Property Manager, works hard & cares. It just seems that she is bogged down by the bureaucracy & rules of the overall management company (it seems to be that way at least; I am not stating that as a fact but... as a belief).
Cons: -For the entire time I lived there, I had German roaches. I saw them in the kitchen, the living room area, the bathroom, my closet, etc. I even stopped sitting on my couch because after seeing the third one come out of it, I just couldn’t trust it. Yes, the rent is low; the location is pretty decent; & the apartment itself is actually nice, but having to deal with seeing multiple bugs weekly, even monthly, was more than I could handle. Maybe other people are stronger, but I am of the belief that no one should live like that. -At one point, one of the little buggers seemingly crawled onto the sticky sheet, alive. Since it was stuck, it couldn’t go anywhere. Because of that, it had to have its babies on the sheet. Imagine going to sleep with the picture of all these little critters in your apartment or in the walls/drains (still not sure from where they were coming) having these babies.
I just hope the upper management starts to take the situation seriously at some point as this can’t be safe/healthy for people who live there. I would also like to state that I have been in another place for awhile now and I have not seen one bug, so it is true that you can find a place that does not have bugs or roaches, even if others try to tell you that you cannot possibly expect a place without roaches. Trust me, you can.
