Review Summary for 117 Varick Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 117 Varick Street emphasize its prime Manhattan location with easy access to Soho, Tribeca, and the West Village, making it appealing especially for young renters and short-term stays. Tenants appreciate charming exposed brick and good water pressure. However, the building faces challenges including persistent pest issues, noise from the nearby Holland Tunnel, aging infrastructure like slanted floors and old laundry machines, and occasional leaks during storms. Management receives mixed feedback, with some citing responsiveness while others report poor landlord communication and security deposit disputes. Overall, this building suits those prioritizing location but comes with trade-offs in maintenance and quietness.
