Villa San Carlo has been a horrible experience ever since I moved in a little less than a year ago. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! There are far better places for less money in town! Save yourself the misery.
If you do decide to live here, make sure you go over EVERYTHING in the lease. When I moved in, the secretary insisted that the complex does not have Move-In inventories, even though they were mentioned in the lease. Make sure that if the lease says something, you follow it, regardless of what the management says.
Of all the bad aspects to write about here (and there are many!) the noise has been the worst. Three apartment buildings (surrounding villa san carlo) are being renovated at the same time. This means waking up to construction noise, such as banging out windows with sledge hammers, and cutting wood with table saws. And construction starts promptly, no later than 7:30 am, rain or shine.
Most importantly though, if you move in here, insist that they show you the exact unit that you'll be moving into before you sign a lease. I was fooled by the beautiful model they showed me, only to find myself moving into an apartment with black mold growing on the windows, cracked kitchen counters, rusty bathroom sink, a craked bathtub, and a carpet so dirty, you can't tell what color it originally was.
In other words, just steer clear of Villa San Carlo.

I don't reccomend Villa San Carlo to anyone. They advertise "Sound resistant construction" on their website, except there is no insulation between my neighbors and me, just drywall. I can hear everything from them talking normally to using the bathroom (and I don't mean just the toilet flushing). The reason I was given to why I can hear them was because I have better hearing! It stays very cold during winter times unless you want to run up your bill with the heat, again insulation is terrible, if there ever is any. I also lived here for only 2 months and they pressure me every week to renew. Do not live in anything owned by Student Housing Soultions, their out to rip you off!!!
