    Review Summary for 239 West 63 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants highlighted the building's convenient location and responsive owner as key positives. However, noise issues from neighbors, thin walls, and gaps under the doorways were common concerns affecting residents' peace. Additionally, unresponsive management, pest problems, and insufficient room sizes were noted drawbacks. Suggestions included better communication about potential inconveniences caused by maintenance work. While some recommend the building for its affordability and amenities like laundry, others feel the pricing doesn't align with the quality offered.

    It's an ok building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    There is laundry in building but the dryers don't work too well.
    Cons:
    The rooms are very small and not well lit. Perfect for a person just moving to the city but I couldn't stay there very long.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the dryers
