WOW! 2 opposite reviews!
While looking for an apartment in the Vancouver area, I came across these two opposite reviews. It sounded like the 2 people were within months of living at at same place but discribed 2 totall different place. My curiosity got to me and I decided to check it out for my self. <br> I called an made an appointment to look the place over. The lady who answered the phone was plesant. I went right over. The parking lot was clean, no junk cars anywhere, the grass mowed and no trash. <br> I was very pleased when I walked into the building. The first thing I saw as I entered the building was an indoor pool. There was a fireplace and nice furniture in a large room that the office was attached to. <br>The lady in the office inivited me into the office. She gave me a flyer and we talked about the costs to move in. She was very plesant. <br> She showed me around the building. The building is set up like a hotel, with all the doors inside the building. I really liked the fact that the door to the building had a electronic lock for which only the people who lived there had. There was a call box next to the front door for guests to ring the person they wanted to visit and be let in. (I really liked this, being a single woman) The hallways were clean, and quiet. I was told there was a noise curfew between 10 pm and 8 am. The apartment I saw first was what she called "The Model" It was clean and very well decorated, so I asked to see an empty apartment. She showed me 2, they were both clean and well maintained. I was beginning to see which review was more correct. <br> I told the lady I had read the review on AptRatings and was very concered about the comment about mold. She said that there were 3 people in 5 years she had been there that complained about mold (she also told me there are 132 apartments in the building). Her comment was that all 3 had not been running their heat in the winter and keep their windows shut. When told to turn their heat on 1 of the 3 did and there was no more mold. The other 2 did not, one left on her own and the other was asked to leave. <br> I was so impressed that I signed a lease. I have now been here 1 month and am very happy with my quiet, comfortable apartment. I will keep everyone up-dated at the end of my lease.Share This Review
