Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

The properties often boast good locations, laundry facilities, and amenities like elevators and rooftop decks.

Overall, amazing actually

Pros

- Pedro our super. He's wonderful, feels like family. He is so helpful and on top of everything. Also he is kind and has amazing energy-we are truly lucky to have him. - location wow - elevator and laundry - cute apartments. exposed brick, strong bones - we rarely hear any neighbors.

Cons

The only thing I would say is there are pests (just cockroaches but still) in the warmer months, it is somewhat manageable but also gross unfortunately. The funny thing is, the pros still outweigh the cons.
