Review Summary for Willoughby
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback for 196 Willoughby Street praises its excellent cleanliness, well-maintained common areas, and attentive staff, especially doormen. The building offers attractive amenities like a 24/7 gym, lovely views, and proximity to transit and parks. However, some renters point out noise issues from neighbors and nearby facilities, occasional heating and water pressure quirks, and management's sometimes inflexible policies and lack of timely responsiveness. While pet-friendly, the pet fees and ancillary amenity charges have been criticized. Overall, the building appeals for its location and quality environment, though renters suggest improvements in management communication and amenity accessibility.

Nice place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
Really nice common area, great staff, and the apartment is well built
Cons:
If you get a neighbor who likes to play loud music, it's annoying since the bedroom shares a wall with your neighbor's lounge area.
Property mgmt has unreasonable policies, such as charging a couple thousand dollars to move to another unit, even after your lease is finished.
Advice to owner:
Try to keep your current tenants by being a bit more reasonable rather than enforcing unreasonable policies, which drives tenants out and loses money from vacant units (our old unit was vacant for 6months after we left)
