Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Many praise updated apartments, on-site laundry, and affordability, along with generally quiet, friendly neighbors. The landlord is often described as responsive and communicative, addressing maintenance and pest issues quickly when informed. However, several reviews highlight persistent pest problems (mice, rats, cockroaches) and occasional unresponsiveness—especially regarding heating issues and weekend or after-hours contacts.
