Review Summary for The Ashland
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 250 Ashland Place, Brooklyn, praise its prime location, cleanliness, and friendly, helpful staff—including doormen and concierge. Residents enjoy modern units with great views and useful amenities like a rooftop and gym, though some find the gym and laundry facilities lacking. Major recurring issues include frequent and prolonged elevator outages causing long wait times, noise from the busy surrounding streets, and occasional neighbor disturbances. Management is responsive about maintenance but criticized for poor communication, especially regarding elevator problems and building security. Rent is considered high, and some tenants note missing in-unit washers/dryers. Despite drawbacks, many recommend living here for convenience and staff quality.
