“I feel like the price on my has and electricity shouldn't be what it was because I didn't move in till the middle of July, and I barely used electricity it gas. Also my water takes awhile to warm up and when it does it gets cold again. Other then that I've had little issues nothing that was bad. The smell of the water is different here, I didn't know how good it is to drink? It has a strong smell too it. Overall I'm not disappointed,I feel like some thinks for a luxury that they promote, isn't so luxury.”
