Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for properties managed by Manuel Balico indicate a mixed experience. While some residents highlight the cleanliness, large units, and proximity to public transport, significant concerns persist regarding management responsiveness and overall building maintenance. Issues such as pest problems, frequent flooding, and construction noise are prevalent.
