I think the location is great. I think the amount of random sketchy people having crazy parties and getting wild on Sunday nights or normal days is a bit much. I don’t like the pool partiers as much as I might understand, leaving their excess trash at my door. I don’t use the garbage caddy I walk my trash to the can like a normal person. I don’t like walking out to go to work with the weekends party garbage at my door. Maybe they think I don’t live here too? I dunno, my spot is in the heat of it... but I don’t condone leaving your trash around. I doubt it’s residents but who can tell when every person might have 10-15 roudy people in their party. Who knows who is leaving it? Or destroying the security gates.

From the start this place was good. Reading reviews and all. I finally came to visit the spot. Met Jennifer and she gave me the tour. I was looking for the city view or pool view. Got the pool view. Love the surroundings and foodie spots. Place is awesome. Thanks you Platform ??
