“When I moved in, I had to clean all the floors. They were not cleaned at all. The washer has a very mildew smell in it and I’m still trying to figure out how to get rid of the smell. The valet trash people drag their bags down the stairs around 11pm every night they pick up trash and my apartment is right by the stairs. Multiple things were not ready for my move in and I’m still waiting for everything to be fixed.”
