BEFORE YOU RENT AT PORTOFINO READ THIS!!!

This apartment has been an absolute nightmare. There is nothing special about this place EXCEPT for the pool and even that isn't enjoyable in the summer because it's so crowded. I live in the loft so I only have one neighboring apartment and with these styrofoam walls thats one too many. You can hear EVERYTHING! And unfortunately for my husband and I that means we get to hear our way too loud to be real neighbors doing it like bunny rabbits. We literally get woken up at 3 o clock in the morning to their moans and screams and if they have a party? Forget about it, sleep is not even an option. We've tried calling security but they don't do anything, just walk around the apartment complex after hours. Sometimes I wonder how much of my rent goes to those useless beings. Portofino also likes to use their "cooking classes and zumba classes" as incentive to move here. Good luck trying to get into the cooking classes they only take about 20 people and you dont actually cook you just watch and have fun trying to move around in the clubhouse with thirty other people. The business center never has paper in the printer so bring your own. If you plan on having a pet plan on spending twice as much on the pet deposit and pet rent than you did on the actual pet itself. (400 pet deposit 50 month pet rent) the granite counter tops havent been sealed correctly so when you leave a glass on the counter and then pick it up it leaves a ring which is an issue for OCD people like me. The shower doors are cheap and rusty and disgusting. If you have guests over make sure their prepared to park on the street because theres NEVER any guest parking open and they dont even have guest parking spots in the back where I live. Whenever there is a home Chargers or SDSU game it takes about 20 minutes if not more to get on the 15. I dont know about how they are with returning the security deposit but I've heard its a nightmare and I've pretty much just written off that 350 as a loss. I have friends with nicer, quieter, AND cheaper apartments so needless to say the second I get the chance I'm moving out of here. If you're going to spend so much money on an apartment you can find a lot better apartment for your money.
