I initially went to the website to submit an inquiry regarding corporate rentals in Scottsdale and Phoenix area. I received an automated e-mail response that someone would be contacting me "shortly"; this was yesterday late afternoon and now it is the following late afternoon. I called the phone number indicated on the e-mail and was directed to a voice mail, which simply "beeped" without a message indicating that I should leave a message. I did leave a message, after being prompted that I didn't leave a message - very frustrating. I am a seasoned veteran in the multi-family housing industry, including on-site and as sales director for an on-line advertising medium for apartment rentals, so I am very aware of how important it is to respond to potential residents as quickly as possible when they inquire about a property. I am hoping that someone from some property will contact me soon. Thank you.

A few weeks ago I contacted an agent representing this housing group and was somewhat disappointed. I was told that no leases start except on the first of any given month. Really? That is a cold shower for a hot prospect... I was also told that I would be contacted by someone (no name or contact info was given) who could show me some of the apartments that were available at that time, This was during the first week of the month and I was seriously looking for a longer term that most motels will allow. Not having ever seen an apartment, I cannot give a proper review for this company or the apartments that they manage. Perhaps after I finish my now extended motel stay, I will see some apartments.....I will contact the agent again but if I get the same cooperation again, expect a much longer review next time.

Prices way too high for what figured to be at least a 3-5 month need. Few if any affordable options offered

My experience with corporate housing was not good. When I first checked in with the front desk, I was given a key for the apartment. Although the key worked on the door lock, the key did not work on the deadbolt. Therefore, i had to go back down to the front desk (with all my luggage), and they called maintenance. I went back to the apartment and waited 1/2 hour for maintenance to let me in. I then walked into the apartment and immediately noticed two rips on the leather couch in the LR. Apartment was OK, and had a nice view, but many things (curtains, dressers, closet doors) were a bit shabby and had some marks on them. Later, I tried to watch TV, and was able to turn the TV on, but the remote would not change channels. Although none of these issues were major, the combination of all these issues made a very bad impression of the quality and care this company takes in its properties. Also, there was an issue with parking. The website says the property I was renting had onsite parking. However, when I inquired at the front desk, they said there was no onsite parking, and I would have to use a garage a block away. Again, not a huge issue, but another example of poor quality/care. I sent an email to the company highlighting all these problems, and asked them to address these issues. Despite a response that they would look into these issues, they never gave me a new key (so I could never use the deadbolt), they never fixed the TV remote, and they never did anything about the ripped couch. The only item they addressed was to tell me their website was incorrect and there was no onsite parking (although I just checked their website, and it still says the property has onsite parking). All in all, a very negative experience, and I will NEVER use them again.
