Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of buildings managed by SOCRATES FORADOULAS note spacious apartments with high ceilings and good natural light, often praised along with the convenient location and affordability. However, many reviews raise concerns about aging infrastructure leading to frequent issues with heating, hot water, elevators, and plumbing. Pest control and soundproofing are commonly cited as inadequate, while garbage management is generally satisfactory.

Great Space for the $

Pros

The windows make your apartment feel SO much larger.

Cons

INability to control heat, so even when it's 60 outside in March, you're stuck sweating in your apartment. Old pipes, so leaks happen often.
