Very patient in listening to my needs for a parking space. The virtual assistant was awesome. I had not done work with a virtual assistant before and was uncertain if it would be that useful, but it was awesome. You're talking to a live person on a big screen. I'm older (73) and not a techie, but the assistant was awesome.

It was an easy process from start to finish with the help of property manager “Carrie” and “ Leslie Ann “ from the Tele/online services. Carrie helped my wife and I select the best unit for us. She was a big help, patient, friendly and kind. She got the unit ready for us to start using right away. Leslie Ann was very professional and helpful with all the paperwork and payment setup.
