Unprofessional
Went to check out 2 bedrooms with my boyfriend and friend. Arrived on time, pushed the service button many times before finally calling. Lady picked up and said "Well, I'm here and I didn't hear it so you must've not pushed it hard enough. Sometimes it's like that." Waited a few more minutes, she came out with a hoodie, leggings, messy hair, and NO SHOES! Told us the apartments were only 2 tenants per unit, when numerous websites said nothing of the sort and we included the number of people in… the email. We left very dissatisfied to have wasted that time.
TLDR: Late, unprofessional, and no mention of 2 tenants per unit!Review from Apartments.com
