Rodent issues. Worst management ever. Throw your stuff out without notice.

Nothing this place is a dirty mess with roaches and awful noise levels

Massive rodent infestation. Worst management ever- Sol especially is the WORST. They are so rude and disrespectful at Matel and threw away all of our stuff when we only partially moved out.
