    Review Summary for 12 West 44 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 12 West 44 Street in Manhattan consistently highlight the building’s favorable location and furnished units with decent amenities as major positives. Many appreciate clean conditions, responsive and kind front desk staff, and included utilities. Common issues raised include unreliable water pressure, occasional heating problems, elevator slowdowns, and noisy neighbors. Some reviews note poor owner responsiveness and problems with rent pricing and security deposit returns. While short-term rentals and ease of move-in are praised, renters suggest improvements in maintenance, pest control, and laundry facilities. Overall, the building suits those valuing convenience and furnished setups but may challenge those seeking stable management and spacious, well-lit apartments.

    Good if you’re desperate
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Clean, comfortable rooms, no pest problems, furnished & utilities included a nice plus. Another big plus for me was they don’t require the crazy 40x rent income/broker fee/a million documents that other rentals do in manhattan, making it doable for me as a student not familiar with the NYC rental game.
    Cons:
    WAY overpriced esp with rate increase. Placed in a room with NO natural light (literally no difference between night and day) (though was able to change to a (more expensive!) room which was better). Neighbors can be a bit noisy esp when doors are right next to each other. And it’s been two months and still haven’t gotten my security deposit back yet :(
