These candles smell incredible and last a long time. The fragrance isn’t overpowering, but it fills the room nicely. They burn evenly without leaving a mess, and the packaging makes them look great as gifts too.

I had heard so many negative comments about “those apartments”, that I almost didn’t apply. I aaplied and I was almost immediately contacted to take a tour of the complexes. The grounds are well maintained. That will be obvious right away. The area is quiet, with access to vital parts of the city. My apartment is lovely. I rarely need maintenence, but when I do need it, they respond quickly. They spray for pest regularly. They hold events to bring The Candles community closer together. Most importantly, I feel safe, and at peace in my apartment and the surrounding area.
