Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Communication with the owner was great prior to the trip. However, once we arrived, we had trouble with the thermostat, couldn't find extra blankets, weren't supplied with enough clean towels for the duration of our stay nor any written instructions /information like I've come to expect from other rental experiences. We tried to connect with the host multiple times but received no response whatsoever. I was really disappointed with the chilly temps inside the home, re-using bath towels over and over, no washer/dryer in spite of them being advertised, and no departure day instructions, Also, the window treatments in the bedroom filter absolutely no light so sleeping in was about impossible. There is a good amount of constant traffic outside and the noise level sounded like all the windows were open, even though they were not. We arrived on a rainy evening and the outside lights are fairly dim, making it difficult to see the keypad for entry. There is no house number on the unit so I am glad I asked for a picture of the property in advance so we could recognize it. Overall, I would not stay here again nor recommend it.

We are sorry to hear that this guest was disatisfied with her stay at our apartment; however, we feel it is necessary to address several statements in her review that do not accurately reflect the facts or the amenities provided.
- Communication: We have no record of receiving any messages or phone calls from Jennifer in time to address any of the issues she has raised in her review of the property. Had she contacted us requesting additional towels blankets or help understanding the heating system, we would have been more than happy to assist her immediately. With regard to the other issues that she raised in her review we are offering the following:
- Washer & Dryer: A washer and dryer are available in the building, and guests are provided with clear information regarding their location.
- Towels & Extra Blankets: We provided two full sets of towels for her stay (each set including a bath towel, hand towel, and face cloth). Additional towels and extra blankets are stored in the downstairs cabinet. We received no requests for additional linens during her stay, which we would have gladly provided at no extra cost.
- Heating: The apartment features a working thermostat in the dining room controlling a gas-based steam heating system. Because steam heating takes time to build up, supplemental space heaters are also provided in the unit for immediate warmth.
- Window Treatments & Noise: The shades are specifically designed for privacy while allowing natural light. The property’s location on a busy street near the MBTA station, local restaurants, and shops is noted for its convenience, though urban noise is to be expected.
- Lighting & Entry: The entryway features a motion-detected light over the door designed to illuminate the keypad without disturbing neighboring properties.
It is difficult to address concerns when they are not raised during the stay, preventing us from resolving them in real time. We believe our overall positive guest reviews offer a much more accurate reflection of the quality and value of our property.
Please let us know if you need any further information regarding this reservation.
Best regards,
We had an excellent stay. The unit fit our needs very well and the location made getting around very easy. We especially appreciated how close the T was.
Michael was an excellent host and communicated with us throughout our trip to make sure we had everything we needed. He even let us leave our car in the designated parking spot so we could continue exploring Boston by subway after we checked out. The apartment was spacious and conveniently located within walking distance to the subway line. There were plenty of restaurants and other amenities within close proximity to the apartment. The only negatives were there is no house number on the unit and we arrived at night, which made it challenging to find in the dark. Also, the bedroom windows were fitted with roller blinds made of loosely strung reeds that provide minimal light reduction. A sleep mask is essential, therefore, to ensure optimal sleeping conditions. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Michael’s place and would recommend it to fellow travelers wanting to explore the Boston area.
Great location with easy access to everything you’d want to do in the Boston area. Host is quick to reply and help with anything you need. Will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Really loved how close it was to public transit and the waterfront. It had a really unique style and we loved the decor. Apartment was very spacious and it had everything we needed for our stay. We would love to stay here again during our next visit! :)
Yes, the kitchen was fully equipped with numbers of appliances and everything we needed to cook/entertain on Christmas. The apartment was clean with beautiful artwork in every room. A welcome and instruction book for how to use/regulate/turn on appliances and entertainment would have been helpful. The landlord was very responsive to our several communications for assistance/direction. The only negative was that we had difficulty regulating the temperature to keep it at a comfortable setting.

This is what I was going to put on the public page do you think it's okay
This guest gave us 5 stars in all categories. She then gave us an overall rating of 4, stating that she couldn't figure out how to work the Nest thermostat that is installed in the apartment. Apparently the heat fluctuated between 67 and 72 and she found that unsatisfactory, despite my efforts to personally walk her through changing the settings. This was the first time that we have experienced this problem. Moving forward we intend to address the problem by providing written instructions regarding the operation of the Nest thermostat.
Casa completa, con todo lo que necesites. A 100 metros del trolley que conecta con la red line. A 300 metros el super, a 200 metros restaurantes ( mexicano, irlandes, americano, italiano) a 350 metros farmacia. Mike (the landlord) was incredible!!! Siempre atento y listo a solucionar todo lo que necesitas
