Review from the web

I was reading the other reviews and though this apartment was terrible, but with me I always have to experience something before I can have a say, and the only thing I have to say is Jazmine and Bella are genuine, kind and extremely helpful with the our leasing process. You can tell they take care of their facilities as far as everything goes. Everything looks A1 and the environment is healing, community is great and there is nothing more you can ask for in terms of a place to stay. If they keep this up this might be the best apartment in South Carolina.
