3
stars
because
I've
had
a
mostly
positive
experience
living
here,
up
until
the
recent
construction.
I
understand
that
periodic
maintenance
is
necessary.
What
I
don't
understand
is
the
lack
of
compensation
provided
to
residents
for
the
extreme
disruption
that
has
taken
place
over
the
past
few
months.
For
example
(and
this
is
just
ONE
example—we've
had
various
types
of
construction
going
on
since
August),
Villas
needed
access
to
the
inside
of
our
home
for
10
business
days
(2
full
weeks)
to
complete
a
re-piping
project.
This
involved
removing
dry
wall
and
replacing
the
pipes
within
the
walls
in
both
of
our
bathrooms
and
kitchen,
and
intermittent
water
shut-off.
You
can
imagine
what
it
sounds
like
as
they
cut
into
the
dry
wall—forget
working
from
home
if
you
have
a
remote
job!
Good
luck
if
you
stay
at
home
with
small
children
during
the
day.
In
order
to
prepare
for
this
work,
we
had
to:
1)
remove
all
items
on
top
of
all
bathroom
counters,
2)
remove
all
items
from
under
kitchen
and
bathroom
sinks
and
3)
clear
all
furnishings
away
from
about
5-7
different
walls
within
our
apartment,
including
moving
a
heavy
bar
cabinet
away
from
one
of
the
walls
where
the
maintenance
team
had
to
cut
open
drywall
and
having
to
find
places
to
temporarily
store
all
of
this
stuff.
Keep
in
mind,
we
needed
to
maintain
this
state
of
living
for
2
weeks.
For
all
of
this
inconvenience
(again,
over
TEN
business
days
of
maintenance
staff
needing
to
be
inside
your
apartment),
Villas
decided
a
flat
$150
was
sufficient
compensation,
for
a
3-bedroom
apartment
with
3
guests.
That
comes
to
$5
per
business
day
per
person.
I
think
that
says
it
all
re:
how
much
Villas
values
its
residents.
This
is
nothing
against
any
of
the
maintenance
staff
or
leasing
office
staff,
who
have
done
what
they
can
to
be
helpful.
