I leased apartments at the Amalfi and the Esplanade complexes, Corporate Apartment Network, at the Circle on Hermann Park, for two extended stays in February and March 2017. I traveled to Houston from my home in Austin to be with friends, one of whom was having surgery at Hermann Memorial Hospital. On both occasions my leasing agent was Tammy Parsons. An Austin friend recommended CAN and I'm glad she did.
In February, Tammy quickly helped me find the right unit for a very reasonable rate in the same complex with my friends. My studio apartment in the Amalfi was ideal: fully furnished, impeccably clean, quiet, safe for a single woman traveler, and within pleasant walking distance from the hospital complex where I spent most of my time. When I needed to extend my stay by a couple of days, Tammy quickly accomplished the change.
My second apartment in March was a one bedroom in the Esplanade. My visit coincided with Rodeo, so I was lucky to find an available unit, but Tammy kept looking until she found something that worked for my dates.
This unit was also spacious, quiet and very comfortable. Being able to come "home" at night, run in Hermann Park, or in the Esplanade's fully equipped exercise suite, cook a decent meal, enjoy peace and quiet after a day of hospital bustle, and get a sound night's sleep were absolutely essential. The CAN complexes are clean, safe and relaxing. I still can't believe these lovely apartments, with all the amenities, are so incredibly reasonable. During the Rodeo period, hotel rates were exorbitant, but the Esplanade remained affordable.
The most important thing about both leasing experiences was the expert work of Tammy Parsons, particularly during the March residence.
Due to a medical complication, my friends and I needed to stay on longer than the intended month's lease. Tammy worked with us daily until she was able to solve the complicated process of extending my lease on an as-needed basis, during a busy time when few units were available, so my friends could be accommodated after their original lease expired. She recognized how distressful our situation was and never abandoned us. Tammy kept working until we had a solution.
Tammy's kindness and expertise were essential for securing a recovery haven, and relieving stress during a worrisome time. She was always available by email, responding quickly to inquiries, and working tirelessly to help us, with great success. We weren't her only clients, but we felt as if we were.
In addition, CAN property staff was readily available on-site to answer questions and provide assistance. Staff members helped me mail packages, find boxes for moving out, print documents, use the business center's computers, and navigate Houston. The entire rental process from move-in to check-out was seamless.
My experience with CAN, Tammy Parsons, and the Amalfi/Esplanade residences was absolutely ideal. I enthusiastically recommend CAN, whether for a medically related stay, business, or personal travel. It's a very professional, yet personal, option. read more
