Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews highlight the building's ideal location in the West Village, cleanliness, and efficient garbage management as positive aspects. Residents appreciate the overall upkeep and responsive staff, especially the superintendent. However, some units lack modern amenities like dishwashers and in-unit laundry. A crucial drawback is a concerning experience with one of the owners, Jenny Watkins, who has been described as discriminatory and uncooperative. Despite this negative experience, the building maintains a charming appeal with manageable noise levels. Renters advise caution when dealing with Jenny Watkins but generally recommend the building for its location and upkeep.
