Review Summary for 204W West 108 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 204W West 108 Street highlight its appeal mainly for Columbia students due to its convenient location and reasonably priced units. The building’s lobby, basement, and elevator are generally well maintained, and some tenants find the staff responsive and friendly. However, there are consistent concerns about cleanliness, pest infestations (rats and cockroaches), package theft, and loitering around the property, impacting residents' sense of safety. Heating and water pressure are usually rated positively, but maintenance issues with appliances are noted. Overall, potential renters should weigh the benefits of location and affordability against ongoing security and pest control challenges.
