We enjoyed the central location near union station, for sure, and the access to Whole Foods across the street. The gym was nice. Check in was a breeze and the communication with the Mint House team was efficient and responsive. However, the negatives outweighed all of these things. The window shades were not adequate, and especially problematic on eastern facing units like ours where the rising sun flooded the room with light early in the morning. That and the sounds of trains in the wee hours of the morning made sleeping past 6:00 am a challenge. The pool and grill area were closed for the entirety of our visit without advanced notice or apologies. Frankly I didn’t enjoy the natural concrete pillars and ceilings throughout, and felt the apartment to be very austere. A night stand and reading light on each side of the beds would add a lot. It’s a shame that only one side of the bed had the privilege of a light for reading in the evening. The kitchen had a full sized oven, which was great, but was minimally stocked and could have used a cookie sheet or pan for roasting. I personally would not return to Mint House, but for those who are early risers and don’t read in bed and who don’t cook much, you may very well like it for the excellent location.
