Verified Renter I have had some bad experience at Flamimgo,my first year was very good.The second year my apartment flooded from my toliet,no one cleaned my rugs or my furniture. Every time there was a water flood in your hallway downstairs I called you all because I was on my way to work from your bathroom in the lobby. No matter where I lived I have always been a good tenant. Never had any problems.

I want to say to Kevin that Sam of your maintenance team is the best in the business when it comes to solving issues via fixing what's wrong.. How he manages is beyond me... read more
