Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants report a mixed experience with buildings managed by Chesky Engel. Positive reviews emphasize responsive communication, smooth move-ins, and clean, well-maintained units with good locations and quiet surroundings. Many praise the management team's helpfulness and transparency during leasing. However, several tenants note recurring issues such as bedbug infestations, persistent maintenance problems (including leaks and heating), and unreliable responsiveness from management, particularly in one building where pests and noise disturbances were severe. Advice frequently includes improving pest control, being more proactive and compassionate with tenant concerns, and enhancing overall building maintenance and communication. Prospective renters should weigh convenience against occasional management shortcomings.

Reviews

Former tenant·27 minutes ago

Great Support from Start to Finish

Pros

Did a lot of research before committing to Outpost and was a bit anxious going into it. My sales rep was brilliant - responded to every message within minutes, never made me feel like a burden for asking questions, and helped me find a room that actually matched what I was looking for. The booking itself was straightforward and transparent. I'm in this apartment now and it's exactly as described. Strong recommendation.

Cons

My room didn't have a huge amount of storage space, so I ended up buying a couple of storage bins to keep everything organized.

Great location, even better support

Pros

Move-in was smooth. The apartment is exactly as described. It's nice to go through a rental process and come out the other side without a single unpleasant surprise. That's what happened here. The apartment is in a fantastic spot - close to transit, great restaurants nearby, quiet street. I've recommended Outpost to two friends already.

Cons

Wifi went down twice in my first week
