Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

196 Macon Street offers spacious, quiet apartments with modern appliances, high ceilings, and a popular rooftop, appealing to roommates and pet owners alike. The building benefits from good subway access and private parking. Residents note well-managed garbage disposal and strong water pressure; however, some experience pest issues, notably roaches, and find that laundry facilities are limited and often problematic. Management is described as slow or uneven in responsiveness, particularly regarding maintenance and common area cleanliness. While neighbors are generally friendly, noise from thin walls and occasional disruptive tenants has been reported. Overall, the community atmosphere and key amenities make it a desirable choice despite these challenges.
