Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 262 Taaffe Place highlight the building's spacious apartments with high ceilings and large windows, offering good natural light and an affordable rent compared to the area. Tenants appreciate the location's convenience and the responsiveness of superintendents. However, persistent issues include outdated appliances, poor heating control, frequent maintenance delays, slow or unresponsive management, and ongoing pest problems. Sound insulation and noise levels are problematic, especially on upper floors, and package theft is a common complaint. Garbage management varies, and building security, including front door conditions, needs improvement. While not ideal for long-term stays, many find it a reasonable option given its price and location.

Great Space for the $

Pros

The windows make your apartment feel SO much larger.

Cons

INability to control heat, so even when it's 60 outside in March, you're stuck sweating in your apartment. Old pipes, so leaks happen often.
