Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 245 East 21 Street praise the attentive staff, especially the elevator operators and doormen. The building boasts good cleanliness, efficient garbage management, and strong water pressure. However, concerns include noise from sirens and construction nearby. Pest control and outdoor communal spaces are areas for improvement. Despite some drawbacks like occasional pest sightings, overall, tenants appreciate the spacious units, convenient location, and responsive management, making it a recommended option, especially for those valuing a hidden gem in Gramercy with rent-stabilized units.
