When we arrived the refrigerator was not working. A replacement had been plugged into the wall between the kitchen & living room obstructing the walkway. It had no icemaker, one shelf and one of the 2 drawers was broken. Promises after promises made to deliver a new one that never happened. Refused to move us to another condo. Condo is outdated and needs a deep cleaning. Management seemed unconcerned and was of no help despite speaking with 3 different people. An owners rep called and offered a small discount but nothing more.
