Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenants appreciate the building's cleanliness and regular maintenance, praising the responsive management. However, concerns arise regarding poor insulation leading to high utility bills and noisy environments, particularly due to a gym below. Some tenants find the aggressive communication style of the management off-putting. Despite the drawbacks, the building's proximity to transport and modern finishes are highlighted. Suggestions for improvement include addressing insulation and noise issues collaboratively with the gym. Mixed opinions on the landlord's behavior and the lack of amenities affect the overall experience for renters.

Good rental and good management but horrible insulation
Former Tenant
Pros:
Clean and straight forward building. Maintenance is regular and the building is taken care of
Cons:
Utilities are too high because insulation is bad.
Hot summers, cold winters, and astronomical utility bills
Dryer/washers are also sub par
Advice to owner:
Fix the utility and check the metering

Too noisy and management is aggressive
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, close to the train Clean building Rooftop access Good finishes in the units
Cons:
Doorbell is constantly broken Property management has an aggressive communication style and tends to blame tenants for issues Extremely loud. Right above a gym that starts classes at 6 am and the noise can be heard all the way up to the 5th floor. Noise consists of loud music, slamming weights, and class instructions. Between the train and the gym, it’s difficult to exist in this apartment Floor heating is expensive and barely works. Apartment is freezing most of the time.
Advice to owner:
Talk to the gym about taking more noise cancelling precautions and tone down the aggression with the tenants.
