Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for 344 East 49 Street highlights its desirable location near Midtown and the UN, alongside affordable pricing and responsive management with a friendly live-in superintendent. Many appreciate the quiet, safe residential feel and well-maintained common areas with laundry and elevator access. However, consistent concerns include thin walls causing noise transmission, occasional pest issues, and some heating or water pressure inconsistencies. The building’s older structure leads to creaky floors and limited soundproofing. While some suggest apartment updates and better insulation, the majority value the attentive staff and manageable environment, making it a practical choice for renters seeking convenience in Manhattan.
