No.  For us it's about location, though Oakwood is so established that they knew all the ins and outs of the process.

Please use this space to share any additional thoughts about this particular direct billing program and the apartment where you stayed.


The apartment was very very small, but satisfactory.  To compile our consumables, we rented a storage cage in the building for $25 a month for the last two months we were there.
