i had the distinct pleasure of staying at The Gem for 3 months ... time flew by so it's hard to imagine it was actually that long! that said, it felt like home from day one. michael is wonderful! he made sure everything was covered ... from the big to the small. he even went so far as to have a HUGE bone on hand to welcome my pup. super sweet. the residence is just as described. the back porch and yard were a wonderful plus! michael was super accessible and responsive. any time i had a question or needed something for the apt he was right there ... with a little humor thrown in for good measure. all in all, as a single gal moving to a new city, this stay was wonderful. i would recommend The Gem to any and all! thanks guys for making me feel at home.
