    Review Summary for 247 West 63 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 247 West 63 Street reveal a mix of pros and cons. The building is praised for its excellent Manhattan location, affordability relative to the area, and amenities like a gym, virtual doorman, and responsive maintenance staff. It is popular among students and young professionals. However, many tenants report issues with cleanliness, pest control (cockroaches, mice), aging appliances, and poor noise insulation due to thin walls and unruly neighbors. Management responsiveness is inconsistent—some find staff helpful, while others describe unresponsiveness and mismanagement, especially around garbage and maintenance. Small, outdated living spaces and occasional water leaks are noted downsides, making it a trade-off between cost and quality.

    Exactly What You'd Expect With Low Budget
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Located in an excellent neighborhood. More affordable than most other apartments in the area. There's a gym in the apartment. Very fast to make repairs. Great place for students.
    Cons:
    Limited washing machine and dryers, and one of the units is almost always not working.
    The space for a studio is incredibly small, but that's the trade off.

    The landlord tried to claim most of the security deposit for damage that did not rise to that amount of money, and to which the landlord was responsible for repairing. I ended up getting it back, but had to first file a lawsuit in Small Claims Court.
