  • Service stop when the lease is signed

    October 17, 2022
    As others have noted, the service seems to stop when the lease is signed. I also question whether calling the number in the management response helps anything, since I call that number and am also ignored

  • TERRIBLE

    May 11, 2021
    If i could give them 0 stars I would. This is sadly another high priced place in Berkeley that is all about their tenants at first but once they get your deposit (your $$$) they stop responding. And they blatantly ignore my emails for months with no response. I thought maybe this place would be worth it because its so close to Cal but you're better off renting an apartment in northern Berkeley or anywhere else honestly.

  • Avoid at all costs

    May 11, 2021
    Terrible property management. Total disregard and huge lack of communication to tenants. They stop caring once they have you committed. They are not afraid to change lease agreements over night. Rooms are ridiculously small for how much you are paying. Do yourself a favor and avoid at all costs.
