Review Summary for 166 2 Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 166 2 Avenue highlight its excellent location in the East Village, with many praising the attentive doormen, responsive management, and overall cleanliness. The building's pre-war charm coupled with solid security and respectful neighbors appeal to renters, making it a popular choice. However, there is a recurring and significant pest control problem, specifically with cockroaches, impacting tenant satisfaction. Some renters also mention occasional water pressure issues and lack of modern amenities like AC, rooftop, or gym. Rent increases and occasional noise from nearby avenues are noted drawbacks. Despite these concerns, many recommend the building for its community atmosphere and security.
