Moving in was great. I’ve used them before and it was just as easy now as it was the last time. I also received a follow up call from Rachel to check in on how it went for me which was really nice. She was lovely and gave me some more information that I needed which was really helpful.

A bit of a confused start to the rental as we wanted a different unit from the one allocated, broke off partway through registration and was unsure of the opening times as various people I spoke to prior said different times. One call and Bret sorted it all out quickly. Thanks Bret! (",)
