This place is beautiful, I love my apartment. I just wish I loved the experience that came with it. I heard Mark-Taylor is the best in AZ which is why I chose Arista. Let's start from the beginning:
I moved in last Tuesday (11/15), when it started to get dark I turned my lights on, about a hour in, the circuit popped. And continued to pop to the point that I just didn't have power anymore. I called the emergency maintenance number that was given to me in my folder, when I got a phone call back it was the number for a different property. Strange that they give you an emergency maintenance number for a different property. I did get maintenance there about 3 hours later, and he is a great guy. I was happy he could fix it. I then tried to turn on my heater, nope, doesn't work. Internet? Nope, not that either. After having light on in the apartment I could start to see how dirty it was. Large amounts of dust bunnies all over the walls, tape all over the blind top, orangish stains all over the top of the tub really just dirty.
Next day I call the office, Rachel tells me it will get looked and that I could call cox and then called me to tell me its all fixed. Then, I came home from work to no heat and no internet. But I called cox and they said they could get me internet on Friday. I also emailed my move in form with photos of the cleanliness of my home. I get a response of, we knew about the stains and did what we could to get rid of them, but the cleanliness is surprising, thank you for the photos and I will add them to your file.
Still no heat, haven't had any communication from the office about when it will be fixed.
Friday, I reach out to speak with the manager Michael.
Michael reaches out on Monday and to his surprise he knows nothing about my situation. He is quick to apologize and say he will get it cleaned but he doesn't have cleaners there and he will get the thermostat looked at.
I hear nothing Tuesday, I reach out Wednesday (I'm living here for a week now with no heat) to speak to Michael but am told Michael is out of the office but iapartments will be out on the 30th to look at the thermostat but if you would like heat sooner feel free to call them and they give me a number. Called the number, wrong number, thank goodness for google because these people do not give you the right number for anything. Then get a message saying I can come pick up a little heater from the office. Oh and now my apartment will be cleaned on the 30th as well. Amazing how they think it is ok for people to live in a brand new apartment for 2 weeks without heat or having my apartment cleaned (which I cleaned because 2 WEEKS?)
But besides all the stuff above it's a great location and beautiful property. read more
