Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

While some appreciate the convenient locations and a largely hands-off approach that allows privacy, there are recurring concerns about inconsistent cleanliness, occasional pest issues, and inadequate garbage management. Heating tends to be reliable, but water damage and slow responsiveness to urgent repairs have caused frustrations.

Fine for a Pre-War Building

Pros

Good location and basic needs met

Cons

Standard pre-war building issues–a few cockroaches every now and again, nothing crazy. Not a very clean building but nothing particularly out of the norm for these kinds of apartments

Advice to the owners

Hire a regular cleaning crew and update apartment fixtures
