The management was nice, my son’s chair broke and he went into the kitchen window. thankfully he only had a couple minor cuts. I’m a nurse so I dressed them there. They sent someone out to cover the window shortly after I called. There was a strong sewage smell in the bathroom that got worse when someone showered or the washer ran. The floorboards in the kitchen were coming up and I kept bumping it with my toes. And only one tv was a little inconvenient at times when people were ready to go to wind down and relax before bed. The lofts are cool but if the people sleeping in them want to sleep in they can’t because your rooms are open to the main rooms. And the lofts are also very hot. Even with fans. Hot tub was nice, fire pit was nice.
