I lived in this apartment for a year. I'd go back to them anytime! Not only is the staff super accommodating, they also handle queries easily. There was some issue regarding my deposit. I was worried I won't get it back. However, after the doubt was cleared, they transferred me the deposit at once! Lovely place and great community :)
