I lived villa Mondavi for a year (Aug2010-July2011). I have lived more than 10 apartments in the U.S., and this is one of the best apartments. The room was very clean and well taken care of. My neighbors were very quiet and respectful. The best feature of the apartment is the manager Robin. She always responds very quickly and takes care of problems as soon as she can. She is very considerate and caring. She is such a wonderful lady more than you can imagine. I will give you an example.
I had to leave the apartment a few weeks before the 1 year contract ends because of my new job. I supposed to pay the penalty as I broke the contract. However, she found a tenant to live my room and I only need to pay for about a few days of extra rent until the next tenant occupy the room. I did not need to pay penalty because of her special arrangements. This was quite impressive because my last rent at Mesa Creek in Bakersfield, I had to leave the apartment more than one month before the contracts end. The reason to leave the apartment was noisy neighbors that the manager was not able to handle. I paid more than $1000 extra to leave the apartment because I broke the contract.
I have never asked Robin to find a tenant for me. She did that for me just because she is very kind and caring. Thank you, Robin! If I do ever have a chance to live in Bakersfield, I am sure that I will contact you to find a room for me in Villa Mondavi.
