“Front desk and management are excellent. Responding immediately. I didn’t get the apartment I expected because they never let me check it before I signed the contract which was a disappointment but any way it’s nice and pleasant for me. They told me I could move to another apartment tough still on the waiting list (unconvinced yet). Wonderful terrace.”
