Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 949 WILLOUGHBY AVENUE in Brooklyn praise the responsive management, high ceilings, and thick walls. However, concerns include small kitchens, stolen packages, and high electric bills. Tenants enjoy the building's vibe, rooftop access, gym, and laundry, but express frustrations with door security issues and delayed management responses. The architecture and floor plans are appreciated, but steep metal stairs pose challenges. Suggestions for improvement include better security and more responsiveness from management. Overall, the building is charming with Instagram-worthy features, yet improvements in security and maintenance responsiveness are desired.

Cool building, responsive management

Pros

High ceiling Thick walls Responsive management

Cons

Small kitchen Stolen packages Really high electric bill

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Definitely an experience

Pros

The vibe and look of the building, the area, the 24/7 roof top access, the gym and laundry in the basement, the common area with couches in the basement (used to have a pool table until someone damaged it sadly).

Cons

A lot of people gave out the code to the door so random people were always inside, pretty sure that's how the pool table broke. It would always take management awhile to get us a new code. I wish there was better security for the front doors.
