Had a very positive and safe experience viewing and applying for our apartment. Peter is an absolute joy to work with, very professional and made us all feel very comfortable and excited for our new living space. Villa Del Cerro units are very spacious and clean, all the new updates are fantastic. The pool area is pristine. Highly recommend!
