    Review Summary for 136 East 51 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Reviews of 136 East 51 Street highlight its prime Midtown Manhattan location, cleanliness, and ample amenities, appealing especially to students and young professionals. Tenants praise responsive management and convenient transit access. However, noise levels can be high due to thin walls and adjoining rooms, sometimes affecting comfort. Some report mold and outdated bathroom conditions, with mixed experiences regarding staff demeanor and owner responsiveness. Pest control and garbage management are generally well-rated. The building suits those seeking vibrant city living, though it may not be ideal for renters seeking quiet or long-term stability. Improvements in soundproofing, maintenance, and communication could enhance tenant satisfaction.
