      Do Not Rent here!

      The apartments are extremely small, plus the noise from the neighbors and their yappy dogs can be heard all hours of the night. I left the apartment spotless and they kept 90% of my deposit, so don't expect any of your deposit to be returned even when the place is left spotless. This place is a total ripoff, avoid at all cost. There are much better apartments located just down the hill. Plus, the washers located in the laundry room are constantly breaking down.
