Catrina was personable, informative, positive leasing manager. This will be my daughter/boyfriend new home when they return home. I noticed management/maintenance is on top of keeping the premises clean. The clubhouse & gym renovation is lovely. The washroom was clean as well as the hallway, refreshing smell. Very nice complex.
