Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by VASEL SMAJLAJ indicate varying experiences. While some residents praise the convenient location and helpful staff, others express dissatisfaction with exploitative management practices, such as withholding money for cleaning fees and threats of eviction. Positive aspects include well-maintained amenities, responsive management, and friendly neighbors. However, noise levels and water temperature issues are highlighted as drawbacks. Overall, the buildings are recommended for their unique units and good trash management, yet improvements in owner responsiveness and building maintenance are suggested for a better living experience.

Exploitative Management Practices

Pros

I liked my apartment. It was spacious and conveniently located

Cons

The building management is horrid. Withheld significant amounts of money for cleaning fee (despite us sending videos of how clean the apartment was) and was threatened us with eviction numerous times for arbitrary rules we broke (no furniture through the lobby, throwing out bulky items, guests staying in the apartment, etc.) I feel so lucky to not live in this building anymore. Matthew Goldberg is slimy and I am so grateful to not have to deal with him ever again.
