  "I was very pleased overall but my only complaint is that the entry codes were not working for a WEEK, causing me challenges to enter my unit when I was trying to move out. I find it hard to believe that the codes were down for that long; it should have been fixed much sooner."

  "The two ladies that work at the facility I use on South State street are incredible. They went above and beyond for me and I really can not say enough kind things about them. I was going through an extremely stressful time and they made everything calm, easy and painless. They really made, what is normally overwhelming, easy peasy."
