Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants in buildings managed by David Shemel consistently note well-maintained, updated apartments with clean common areas and functional amenities like laundry. Management is praised for helpfulness at times, but responsiveness is uneven, with reports of delays addressing maintenance, pest control, and security concerns. Noise from busy street locations is a pervasive issue, impacting tenant comfort. Although some appreciate the central locations and friendly neighbors, others mention problems with pests, building upkeep, and safety. Renters recommend improved communication, more attentive pest control, enhanced security, and noise mitigation to raise tenant satisfaction and building desirability.

Reviews

Former tenant·23 seconds ago

Covid price deal

Pros

Central location, stairway was always clear of debris

Cons

Trash is outside of the building through a side door

Former tenant·5 minutes ago

Nice, updated amenities but small space w street noise!

Pros

Amenities are nice, including shower! Dishwasher runs well with no issues Lots of light in the primary bedroom No pest issues or packages stolen Great location, right by the 6 and a few blocks from MSP

Cons

Noise from the street, the taxis parked outside, and the delivery drivers that hang out below your window is unbearable if you are a light sleeper. I sleep through most things, but occasionally would be woken up from a taxi in reverse (the steady beeping) or delivery drivers yelling. My roommate had to buy earplugs. The sirens going down Lex would make me question if the windows muffle the noise at all.
