Updated apartments and overall cleanliness

A number of reviewers say the apartments look clean and recently redone.

Some residents and visitors describe the apartments as redone and nice, and several mention cleanliness as something they noticed right away. One reviewer also says apartments are inspected regularly and that items get fixed when problems are found. At the same time, other reviews directly dispute that cleanliness is consistent, which is why this comes through as a mixed theme overall.
