Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Buildings managed by Michael Zapson generally benefit from convenient locations and attentive ownership, with many tenants noting responsive management and overall cleanliness. However, renters frequently mention issues with pest control, particularly mice, and noise disturbances from neighbors and the street. Garbage management is usually well-handled but can be noisy at early hours. Some tenants advise improved responsiveness and consistent maintenance, especially sealing entry points to tackle pest problems. While rent increases have been noted, many still recommend these buildings, appreciating the quiet surroundings and helpful staff, though occasional noise and pest issues can affect comfort.
