    4/5 Anonymous on Oct 2, 2023

    This is my first apartment away from home and so far the experience has been good. The price is a bit high but I am able to share with roommates. Location is GREAT and close to school and shopping. The trash area could be kept a bit cleaner because there is often trash outside of the bins. Overall, I am happy living here.

    5/5 Alejandra A. on Oct 13, 2023

    I've been living at my apartment for more than 5 years and it has been an absolute pleasure. One of the biggest reasons I love it here is because the management team consistently demonstrates their commitment to tenant satisfaction by promptly addressing maintenance requests. Whenever I've called to report an issue, whether it's a leaky faucet or a malfunctioning appliance, the maintenance team has always responded quickly and efficiently. They are friendly, professional, and always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that any problems are solved completely and promptly. Overall, my experience living at this apartment has been wonderful. The management team is responsive and attentive to the needs of tenants, and they genuinely care about maintaining a safe, comfortable living environment. I would absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a great place to live.

    Living at Mirabella has been an overwhelmingly positive experience for me. From its convenient location near freeway entrances to its proximity to great food, restaurants, and shops, this apartment complex offers easy access to all the main areas of San Diego. The leasing office staff has been consistently professional and helpful, while maintenance requests are handled promptly and with exceptional customer service, particularly by Jerry, the maintenance lead. Parking has never been an issue for my household or guests, and any concerns I've had have been addressed quickly. I appreciate Mirabella's commitment to fostering a sense of community through regular special themed events, as well as their transparent and effective communication regarding unexpected matters or news such as fire alarms, pool and spa maintenance, and other important updates. Mirabella has exceeded my expectations in every aspect, making it an outstanding place to call home for the past five years. From its convenient location and excellent amenities to the professional assistance from the leasing office and prompt maintenance service, this apartment complex offers a truly exceptional living experience. The commitment to fostering a sense of community and transparent communication further enhances the overall satisfaction of residents. I wholeheartedly recommend Mirabella to anyone seeking a comfortable and enjoyable living environment in San Diego.
