Very poor. I would say please do not choose this apartment. Management isvery worst and the people who talk are very rude. No respect at all. I will not give one star also for this apartment. It's nearly 2weeks our bathroom right has not been fixed. When we asked about it they were very rude . I will not refer this apartment to anyone.
