I cannot cannot say enough wonderful things about Maria Bistolas at the HSW property! Moving across the country to a new city, with no place to live lined up and my new job starting in a week, Maria absolutely and totally supported us and provided such a sense of security for us. My application and move-in process was thoughtful and speedy! Maria answered all of my questions (and there were many!) quickly and with such kindness. When we moved out we received the same support and kindness through it all. I took to calling Maria our Fairy Godmother because of her ability to make huge and scary life

One star is over rating this place. Laura is the worst. They own everything in SoNo and jack up the prices. Amenities never work.
