Very disappointed

Current resident at vela and the treatment is terrible. They are not communicative and are very cheap and lazy with repairs.

I enjoyed living at Sixth&G Apartments for the past two years because it is ideally located in the Gaslamp Quarter and is walking distance to all your favorite places. The outside entrance, inside lobby, gym, entertainment lounge, hallways, and underground parking are kept pristine with daily cleanings. Management/maintenance are incredible and quickly respond to requests. The high ceilings and thick concrete walls provide peace and quiet while allowing you to live in a very festive place.

6th and G apartments checked all my boxes when looking for an apartment downtown. Location, amenities, apartment features, pet friendly, great/responsive staff, community events (hopefully resuming soon), and price point. I am happy living here.
