The apartments themselves are honestly (in my opinion) the best in San Diego, with the attached garages and the size of the closets, etc., I am so impressed with this place.

Also, Melissa and Julieta are the most friendly and helpful leasing staff I have ever interacted with. I definitely recommend this place.

I moved in only a month ago and everything has been wrong. I move in and everything is backwards. The lock to my door was outside the bathroom. Towel rack to bathroom door was inside the shower. Plugged an air purifier on one side of the wall with nothing else plugged in and the whole circuit cuts. I place work orders in and they mark it as done and in fact it has not. I have cameras in my apt and shows no one comes in to even work on the place. it's been 2 weeks now I've put in a work order for my shower head to be replaced and they said it has to be ordered. 2 weeks to get it replaced and it's still not fixed. speaking of cameras, I get notification and almost every evening, you have security taking pics of my front door for whatever reason. I email asking about it, no response. I have also paid for application fee and take in consideration I'm already moved in and their portal still says I owe that. I've submitted statement that it's been paid.. and just still a month a later, still waiting for it to be removedI GET PERMISSION TO PARK IN THEIR PARKING GARAGE from one of their property managers and several hours later I get towed which cost me $475 for a day. I then receive confirmation from their mgr that it was their security who called in to get it towed. shouldn't that have been communicated to employees??? I request for call backs from their manager Cara and NOT ONCE has she called me back. POOR COMMUNICATION AND SERVICE. I can't wait for the year to be done and over with and get away from this property and I'd assume all their properties thats managed by them. It's no wonder why they have so many vacancies and you are able to negotiate your rent with them. They're desperate to get tenants in I'm assuming. I've been polite., nice... and I've just had enough. A MONTH LATER! Go find somewhere else to live. oh and that smell people here have complained about that I should have listened to prior to moving in, is absolutely true. It def smells like sewer! i should have taken more time to look around also bc you have no windows really so theres No natural light or fresh air to come in unless if the bedroom door is open from the balcony everyone can look into. Just dark, sad and depressing. Go live your life elsewhere.

0 stars. Don't move…read morehere!! I lived here for 2 years in two different units and finally had enough. Elevators is broken every 3-6 months and they take several months to get it back up and working - when I lived on the 2nd floor it wasn't a big deal but once l moved up to the 5th floor I absolutely dread it. They would constantly say that they are trying to get it fixed but would just sit on their ass and do nothing. The last 5 months of staying with Elan Luxo the handle to the trash shoot broke off and never got fixed - instead they opted into us going down to the floor below us to use their trash shoot which was also broken. Ventilation in the all of their units absolutely sucks. At most you get your patio and bedroom window if you're looking for any type of ventilation/fresh air. Washer/dryer in both units that l've stayed in were disgusting. Mold build-up upon move-in. (All photos are from my second unit/ 5th floor-apt502) Handles to literally everything were broken or missing. Billed roughly an extra $120-$160/monthly on top of your base rent on just the trash alone. You share the dumpster with Harumama which means you're paying for their trash essentially. Also Harumama employees park their cars/motorcycles all throughout the parking structure (handicap, no parking zones, in front of their back door) which is annoying when residents are trying to get in and out of the parking structure. All of this and you let management know about any of it and they brush it aside or don't even get back to you. The only good thing about this place is location.

Plenty of restaurants, bars, pubs, and stores that are all in walking distance. The area itself can attract a more rowdy crowd on the weekends, so be prepared to hear some music, loud conversations, and all around noise that a major urban downtown area will attract.

The maintenance staff is the best part of this place, they will response to your problems same day. My issue with pointe luxe is the management. 1st year living here and they tried to raise our rent 150 dollars. For what this place is offering we found it to be too much of an increase and decided to leave. Then came the inspection where they noted things were in order aside from a carpet cleaning, okay. Then the charges when we left were completely different. 300 dollars for a "full paint", 200 dollars for a "full clean" when we cleaned the apartment prior to leaving, and most egregious was 1100 dollars for a "counter replacement"! We lived there for a year and took good care of the place. They will find anything to get all of your security deposit and make you pay extra. Buyer beware

Think Twice Before Renting at The Summit at Point Loma My…read moreexperience was filled with billing errors, poor maintenance, and extremely poor customer service. Even after moving out on June 25, I was incorrectly charged a full month's rent for July, renters insurance, pet-related fees, and then a late fee was added on top of those incorrect charges. I had to repeatedly call and email to try to get my account corrected. One of the most frustrating aspects was dealing with the Property Manager, **Suzy Reyes**. Phone calls were never returned, concerns were not addressed, and I never felt that management genuinely cared about resolving resident issues. Communication was consistently poor throughout my tenancy. The property itself has numerous problems: * Excessive monthly water charges that seemed unreasonably high. * Residents are charged separately for pest control, yet I experienced a mouse infestation while living there. * The trash area was frequently overflowing and unsanitary. * Hallways and elevators were often dirty and poorly maintained. * The apartment windows were old, worn out, and in need of replacement. I was even charged a $75 late fee despite being enrolled in AutoPay. I had to prove that AutoPay had been set up before the charge was finally removed. Residents should not have to spend their time correcting management's billing mistakes. After I moved out, I was also charged for cleaning, painting, and carpet cleaning, even though I thoroughly cleaned the apartment before turning in my keys. I left the unit in good condition and was surprised by these additional charges. Overall, this property charges premium rent while providing substandard maintenance and customer service. My experience left me feeling that resident concerns were simply not a priority. I cannot recommend living here and would encourage prospective renters to carefully research this property before signing a lease.

A Wonderful Experience at Island Flats in Downtown San Diego…read more I recently had the pleasure of staying at Island Flats in San Diego, and I cannot express enough how amazing my experience was. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this was no ordinary place - it was a haven of hospitality and warmth. I was greeted by the incredible manager, Tamatha, whose amazing enthusiasm and genuine care for her residents set the tone for an unforgettable stay. Tamatha went above and beyond to ensure that my time at Island Flats was exceptional. She was always available to address any concerns or questions I had, and her attention to detail was truly remarkable. Her passion for creating a welcoming environment was evident in every interaction, making my stay all the more enjoyable. The receptionist, Bobbye, deserves special mention for her exceptional customer service. She was incredibly helpful, offering invaluable suggestions on nearby attractions and always greeting guests with a smile. Her professionalism and knowledge of the area truly enhanced my overall experience. Island Flats takes security seriously, and it's all thanks to the wonderful security personnel, particularly Kirk. His vigilant presence made me feel safe and secure throughout my stay. Kirk's friendly demeanor and dedication to maintaining a secure environment added an extra layer of comfort, leaving me with complete peace of mind. The amenities at Island Flats were nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped into the gym, I was impressed by the cleanliness and well-maintained equipment. The gym provided all the necessities for a healthy workout routine, allowing me to stay active and maintain my fitness goals effortlessly. One aspect that truly stood out was the secure parking lot. As someone who values the safety of their vehicle, having a secure parking space was a relief. Island Flats takes great pride in ensuring the security of its residents' vehicles, offering a hassle-free experience that added to the overall sense of tranquility during my stay. Location-wise, Island Flats couldn't be more ideal. Situated in the heart of downtown San Diego, it provided easy access to the vibrant nightlife, amazing restaurants, and nearby grocery stores, all within walking distance. I truly felt immersed in the energy and excitement of the city, making it a perfect base to explore everything San Diego has to offer. My stay at Island Flats was an absolute delight, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable experience in downtown San Diego. The only reason I left SD is to become a caregiver for my mom in another county. In short, Tamatha's exceptional management, Bobbye's helpfulness, and Kirk's dedication to security were just a few of the reasons why I felt so at home during my time there. The cleanliness of the amenities, the well-equipped gym, the secure parking lot, and the incredible location only added to the overall charm of this remarkable establishment.

Island Inn is a hotel/low income housing/micro apartment…read more My husband and I lived here for a year and seven months. We moved out on 8/4/19. I don't know how anyone could give Island Inn 5 stars. One of the reviews is from someone who stayed for a very short time and a couple are from 3 years ago and 7 years. Maybe things have just worsened in that time. The good: Most of the employees are helpful and nice. Tina and Cesar are awesome! About half of the tenants are nice, polite, good people. The units are relatively cheap. We were paying $245/week. *The costs and inconveniences far outweigh the cheap rent. Everything else: Elevators: One of the elevators is out of service about once a week and it's usually the only one that goes to the garage. There is only one elevator that goes to the garage. Tenants play this stupid game where if that elevator is going up and it stops on their floor they won't get on it until it's going down....even though they have to get on it at some point anyway. It's wastes everyone's time. It's why it sometimes takes forever to get an elevator. Tenants: Half the tenants in the building have no concept of manners. If you are waiting on the front desk person, they will just go to the side of the desk and ask to get their request in first. Some will also, get on the elevator before anyone can get off. People have played loud music on the patio, left the patio door open where bugs can get in, and left their trash in the hallway. The Laundry Room: In order to do your laundry, you have to buy a laundry card and load it with cash. I've had the machine eat my cash and have used it on unknowingly broken machines. A couple of the driers wouldn't dry the clothes even after two dry cycles. Someone stole our laundry even though there are cameras in the laundry room and I was never able get it back or even find out who took it. Tracking down the manager after this and trying to get them to go through footage to find the person took forever. Even after "checking" the footage, apparently they couldn't find out who it was. After this situation, I had to watch my laundry. So, I took my laptop and sat at the table. I had a verbally abusive old woman try to bully me out of my seat and when I refused to give it up she verbally harassed me until her laundry was done. Parking: Parking is expensive at $42/week. The spots are really small and they allow cars to park with a motorcycle behind them. It's already very difficult to park. I've been scolded a few times by a maintenance guy for "driving too fast" and going to wrong way. Unfortunately, parking in some of the spots requires going the wrong way and even backing in. Electricity: I couldn't use my stovetop cooker and my microwave at the same time or the electricity would go out. Internet: The apartment "comes with" internet and cable, but our unit didn't get a great signal and we had to spring for paid internet. Mini fridge: The mini fridge doesn't keep food like a normal fridge does. My food was spoiling in about 4-5 days. In order for you to keep anything frozen, you have to crank the freezer up almost all the way, but then you'll find your freezer items get freezer burnt very quickly. Pest Control: Plan on having to leave your apartment for a couple hours and taking your animal with you once a month midweek midday for pest control. Paying Rent: They are switching to online system soon, but you have to physically go down to the front desk and hope someone there can help you. Only certain people are allowed to take rent payments. If they aren't there or if they are on break, you're out of luck. You can't pay after 10pm either. Maintenance: Our bathtub was patched 3 times, because it had cracked and was leaking into the apartment below us. Even after three patches, Island Inn refused to fix the bathtub properly even after they had brought in someone for an estimate. Maintenance told me I couldn't take a bath anymore. Lease: They tried to be sneaky and change the lease terms on us. They had residents sign when they stopped by the front desk. I asked to take it home and refused to sign it. It had a lot of ridiculous rules like not being able to cook on a stovetop. Deposits: Make sure you get receipts if you turn in items that you don't want to have in your place like sheets, tv, etc. They don't write anything down. Also, keep all paperwork on deposits, because I almost didn't get my refund for the deposit I put down for the garage key fob, when I was checking out.
