We rented a studio apartment at Stonegate Apartments for several reasons. We are Canadian snowbirds and it offered a 3 month lease. It was in an area that was easy to get to places to which we often go. It was furnished. It had secure parking. We were positively impressed with the show suite as it was on the ground floor, the layout was comfortable and it had a loveseat. The office staff were very pleasant, approachable and knowledgeble.
Reality hit when we went to our apartment. It was on
...the third floor (26 steps). There was nothing on the walls and we were told we could not put any holes in the walls to hang anything up. There was no microwave, The layout was difficult in that the TV did not face and could not be turned so that the TV could be watched from the bed and there was only one very uncomfortable chair in which to sit to watch TV. People who are thinking of leasing for 3 months should be told what they need to bring or buy to live there.
This is a list of what is not provided:
sheet sets, blankets, pillows
shower curtain, bath mat and towels
dishware, glassware, cutlery, pots & pans, cooking utensils, dish towels, dish cloths, oven mitts
broom/dustpan, mop, vacumn, toilet brush
There were no hooks on the bathroom door so we bought an over the door hook set for our robes
The suite has a small balcony with nothing on it - we were given two chairs by friends
In the three months we were there, we saw the parking gate closed once at night until our car was stolen out of the lot and since then the gate has been closed at night. Also, we never saw any security patrolling the parking lot at night.
