Casa Presidio Apartments

Not great so far. To be fair, the space is very comfortable with the vaulted ceiling and clerestory in the living room. The managers and maintenance personal are very nice, but there have been a number of issues in the one week that we have been here.

1. The cable outlets in the living room do not work.
2. Balcony sliding door would not lock upon move-in.
3. Utility closet on balcony had to be re-keyed to be able to open after move-in.
4. Lower shelf of refrigerator had a chunk missing… over the front left support which caused it to collapse onto the drawers below.
5. Clothes dryer requires at least two full cycles, sometimes three to get the clothes dry.
6. Move-in charge quote was short by $60 and they only accept money orders, cashiers checks, or a fee to pay with a checking account online.
7. Laundry closet fan cover will not stay in place.
8. The bathtub and shower floor surfaces are filthy and was told that they need the place vacated for a day, or a minimum four hours. Should have been addressed prior to move-in. Our cats would have to be boarded at our expense during that time.
9. The HVAC grilles were filthy at move-in.

The low-hanging fruit in the items above (#2, #3, and #4) have been addressed and #7 is in the works. However, we dropped #1 after Cox Communications came out and determined that the living room outlets are dead because, to be fair, we do have a router and smart TVs. (It is still ridiculous to have no working cable tv outlet in the living room). We have not even brought up #5 or #9 because I don't expect they will do anything regarding #5 and as far as #9, we cleaned the filthy grilles ourselves. Read More
