Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by ACP AMSTERDAM I, LLC indicate well-maintained properties with excellent cleanliness, effective pest control, and strong water pressure. Residents appreciate the spacious units, abundantnatural light, and friendly staff, including attentive doormen. However, some express concerns about high rent increases, occasional maintenance issues like elevator reliability, and ongoing noise from construction. Communication tends to be mostly responsive but occasionally slow, with some renters desiring more personalized engagement rather than AI-based interactions. Security has been noted as an area for improvement. Overall, management is viewed as generally competent though balancing costs and tenant retention could be enhanced.

Excellent Building with Great Location
Former Tenant
Pros:
I’ve lived here for almost two years and been very happy. The staff is nice and very responsive. The gym is very nice and clean. The apartment is clean with great water pressure and nice natural light from big windows. It’s centrally located.
Cons:
The landlord raised the rent somewhat significantly and now only use an AI assistant for communications. I would have liked to have stayed with Equity but needed a bigger space and could not meaningfully engage with Equity to try to finer one.
Advice to owner:
Make a better effort to keep good tenants who want to stay.

Nice but should be better
Former Tenant
Pros:
Ok units. Ok amenities. Awesome doormen.
Cons:
EXTREMELY LOUD CONSTRUCTION DIRECTLY OUTSIDE WINDOW DO NOT MOVE HERE. SEVERAL MONTHS WITH NO END IN SIGHT.
Also, there are two elevators. One of them is literally always out of service. I’m not talking about short term. Like consistently over the past 3 years, very rarely are both elevators working simultaneously. It is totally unacceptable for such a large and expensive building. Can sometimes take 10 minutes to get from my floor, to outside of the building because of the elevator wait times.
Also water pressure and hot water in my bathroom aren’t great
Advice to owner:
OFFER REDUCED RENT DURING THIS INSNAE CONSTRUCTION. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ELEVATORS.
