Review from the web

There have been multiple instances where I’ve needed maintenance assistance, including the times where my sink and washer/dryer have had issues. Alexander from maintenance has always been there to assist me. He’s very kind and assesses the issue before he works on it. He’s also great at providing updates on the situation and will give me a run down of what happens next if further action is needed (like needing to call a plumber). Thank you maintenance for being quick and always so nice to the residents.
