    Review Summary for 178 West Houston Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 178 West Houston Street commend its central location, helpful management, and community atmosphere. Tenants appreciate clean common areas, responsive superintendents, and effective pest control in some units. The roof is a notable perk, though unofficial use is common. Apartments tend to be small with some layout quirks, and occasional issues include pests, smoke odors from neighbors, and small bathrooms. Garbage management and water pressure generally receive positive remarks. While neighbor experiences vary, noise levels are mostly manageable. Prospective renters should weigh the building’s convenience and attentive staff against occasional pest concerns and limited apartment size.

    Cool building, but not very comfortable
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Roof is great. Fun for a starter apartment but you'll want to get out
    Cons:
    Mice + roaches, not supposed to use the roof, everyone does. Small apartment + slanted floor
