                  This is our 3rd year staying here. The apartments are looking very tired and the fixtures were falling apart. The door was broken in the first apartment we stayed in, and we were moved to another one after extensive argument. Overall, our experience here has gone worse year after year. We may have to find somewhere else next year if they show no signs of improvements.
