    • Good place!

      June 25, 2020
      For the record, the place DOES have AC. There are portable AC units available to rent. Other than that, this is a good place although the rooms are a bit small. But it is in a great location, the price is good considering that the units are furnished and includes ALL utilities. I've been a resident for over a year and I have enjoyed living here...even though I am now looking for a new place to live. Nothing against Vantaggio Suites at all, I just need a bigger place. Good place, very nice staff ...
      who are extremely helpful. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because of the room size.

      December 21, 2018
      No AC. Tiny, useless fridge. Bring your own cable and internet. You will suffocate here. There are plenty of “real” apartments in Hillcrest.
