They should not call it security deposit, if they are not going to give it back. I have lived in apartments since college years in IL, NY, NJ, and CO, this experience was truly awful. First of all, ever since Jessica left the management, the property is going downhill.

Specific examples,

1. As the reviewer wrote below, they charge cleaning fee, painting and carpet cleaning, no matter how clean you leave the room. I also hired a cleaning service, because I am busy, and thought the unit was spotless, but obviously, they have to do everything themselves and make as much profit out of the deposit as they can. They should just charge the cleaning fee.

2. I lived on the fifth floor and there was always trash in the hallway. I don't know whose fault it is, but I have to say that it is both the management and residents. Who wants to see and smell trash, in "luxury resort style" living'

3. Bill does not say hello to every resident he runs into. If he feels like it, he will talk to you, but when he doesn't, he will completely ignore you and won't even look at you. That's fine. Everyone has bad days... but what I don't understand is when I am in the elevator with couple other residents, he talks selectively. He will talk to one person and completely ignores the rest and does not even say "bye" or "have a good one", when someone is getting off the elevator. That's is just not professional.

4. By the way, don't be so excited when you see the gym. You only get about five channels including PBS and a Spanish channel. No wonder why the gym is always empty. They have DVD players, but they do not work either.

5. Walls are super thin. I could hear neighbor's conversation well enough to distinguish what language they are speaking.

Compared with other sister properties, Piero was smaller and much safer. Did not see any cars broken in. St. Paul Ave. is not so busy with abundant street parking spots. So, that would be the best part of Piero.

Well... choose well. I won't mention other names of property, because I am truly writing to share the info. not to promote anything.
