"Very spacious, tranquile and secured area. Very neat apartment. Just need to place more efficient and stronger A/C's in all rooms and dark curtains in the windows for each bedroom. And add more small towers in the kitchen to dry and clean surfaces, mop on each bathroom. The parking needs to be restrucrured for two car each side. The rest is very good."
