Dec 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Checking In The staff member at the managing agents office who served us with the checking in to this property had no knowledge whatsoever about the property she just handed us a bunch of keys & ushered us out the door. It was difficult to find the parking & how to get into it, & we had no idea where our apartment was in such a large spread out complex. When we asked about the above she should have made the effort to find someone who was familiar with the property & where to go. A map of the complex would have been very helpful.We would probably not use this agency again. ##### Michael S. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joumana c.
