“The maintenance team is very supportive and very quick to action, location is very feasible as you have most of the highway access close you. However, getting a response from management via email or phone is a task sometimes. No matter, how many follow ups you do the front office is very irresponsive. The noise is not necessarily an issue but can be depending upon the location of your unit.”
