BROKEN WINDOWS

August 3, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com

So I rented an Airbnb here this past weekend… I pulled into the parking lot… mind you, It’s gated. No lie…. I counted seven broken car windows with glass right next to it. What the hell is really going on over there is gated where is the landlord? Why is he not secure in the property better after this? I won’t be going back ever and I’ll be sure to let people know about it too.

Beautifully Renovated!
