The first night that we landed on the beautiful soil of Aust realia and we were not able to find the Lock-box, This wonderful manager was over the phone with us and guided us how to get that issue solved. He is a very nice gentleman. That is why we are in process of extending our stay with them for another whole year. The only thing I would change is to add some lights inside the apartment and outside which is really pitch dark at night. :) Ms. Marie is great too. We do recommend this apartment complex to friends and family. ##### M.
