I chose to live in The Veranda only due to its location, price and a beautiful pool.. The rooms in my apartment have no locks, just regular door knobs and will not close snugly because the apartment itself is shifting when the ground gets dry. Same thing with the closet doors, have them fixed and then back again at some time due to that "shifting " thing. People are using the entrance gate as exit gate and so I nearly got in an accident 3 times.
Lots of roaches hiding under the kitchen cabinets, and had lots of dead baby roaches on the dishwasher the first time I moved in. I have it cleaned by the staff but they were still there so decided just not to use it. The smell of an old rotten wood lingers inside the apartment so you better have a strong airfreshener. Oh, and before I forget, never got those balloons for birthdays!
