The experience of staying in this apartment was very poor. I don't know how the old office was managed, but my experience in this apartment in the past year was very bad. If you choose to live in this apartment, you may experience the loss of mailed packages. When you want to find the lost packages, the apartment will only say that you need to go to the mailing company or the police to help you find them. However, the express storage area of the apartment is located in the apartment, and the loss of a package means that there are security problems in the apartment, such as the loss of property in one's own room. In addition, if you choose to stay in this apartment, you should also make sure that there is not enough parking. If you want to own a parking space in the apartment, you need to make a reservation and wait for an empty space. The apartment's solution is to let you park your car in a public parking lot a block away. Finally, if you choose to stay in this apartment, you may also experience network instability. When you contact the apartment for help, the apartment will only tell you to contact the Internet company. But the actual controller of the network is the apartment, which will not give you access or help you fix the network problem. In conclusion, if you can accept all the above questions, it is recommended that you choose this apartment.
