Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The apartment was good size and space ! Great for the most part , let’s it’s self down in the details , electricians nightmare , light on the stairs timer non functional , light never goes out ! Lights in the kitchen , living room , dinning room are all on one switch , are a horrible color ( 5000k ) and you could do surgery by them but you can’t watch tv while someone is cooking ! The tv is out of the ark , I think it’s a plasma . The apt I was in 118 has a problem with outside security lighting , needs true blackout curtains because you can’t block the outside lighting , the apartment section of the complex has no amenities. Generally it’s good just lacks the touches 2.5 stars
