    Review Summary for 14 West 44 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight mixed feedback about 14 West 44 Street. While some praise its cleanliness, responsive staff, and good water pressure, others complain about frequent water issues, elevator failures, and noise disturbances. The building is favored for its furnished units and location convenience but criticized for high prices, lack of natural light, and slow elevator service.

    Bad maintenance and water issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Furnished, decent amenities
    Cons:
    Frequent unannounced water shutoffs and elevator failures

    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 :(

    Not bad, but definitely can find better elsewhere
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, that’s mainly it
    Cons:
    Studio was tiny and basically no natural light. Slow elevators.

    Good Short Term Rental
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Really easy move in, as everything is furnished, and the water pressure is phenomenal. The person who works at the front desk is super kind and helpful.
    Cons:
    My room did not have a functioning radiator so I had to use a really small space heater. But they provided me with the space heater
