Review from the web

My experience with Kristin was excellent from the beginning with our Facetime tour while I resided in Florida until I checked into Rowat Lofts on a day when the temperature was 9 degrees below zero. She showed me the various apartments that I was interested in with their respective views. She was also in daily contact with me either via email or via the telephone. The application process was effortless. Since I arrived, not only have Kristin introduced me to my fellow residents, but some residents have been forthcoming in introducing themselves and welcoming me to the building. My apartment already feels like "home", and I already feel like I am a member of a great community.
