Gabes Place will take advantage of you because you are a college student and they feel like they can. We left our apartment as clean as possible yet we lost our entire security deposit and now they are trying to charge us to replaceā€¦Ā See More >

                                I'll admit that the locations are good, and if you know how to take care of your own apartment and can fix things yourself, it's not too bad.
