Review Summary for The Biltmore
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 271 West 47 Street reflect a mix of positives and negatives. Tenants praise renovated units with in-unit washers/dryers and a convenient Midtown location near subway access. Staff, including doormen and supers, often receive compliments. However, management responsiveness is frequently criticized as slow, uncommunicative, or inattentive to resident concerns, especially regarding prolonged construction, frequent elevator issues, and water service disruptions. Noise from Times Square, 8th Avenue, and nearby fire station sirens disrupts quiet enjoyment, impacting overall satisfaction. High rent and additional fees coupled with inconsistent amenities and maintenance make some renters hesitant, though others recommend for location and unit quality.

Not recommended, loud
Former Tenant
Pros:
in unit W/D, doorman, elevator working well
Cons:
times square is right across from the street and can hear the noise until 3 am. siren is off all nights and I am going crazy. Doormen are not the nicest, package room hours are limited (opens til 8pm)
