I’ve recently renewed my lease at Whetstone Apartments for another year. Not just because of its proximity to my workplace but also because of its amenities and the cleanliness of its areas. The corridors are regularly cleaned. The parking area is a covered space and I feel it’s a safer area compared to the first apartment I’ve stayed before. The maintenance team responds immediately within the day or a day after I made my online request.
