This was a very Boston apartment. Some of the things in the reviews had me a little anxious but overall they weren’t issues that (in my opinion) were even worth commenting on. For ex, some reviewers mentioned the water. The sweet spot is between 5-6 o’clock and once you know that, you’re good to go. In fact, I was impressed that there was enough hot water for three people every morning. Another commenter mentioned the waterfall shower and suggested bringing a shower cap if you don’t intend to wash it that day. That was a great tip so I wanted to reiterate for others!
The location truly cannot be beat. It’s less than 5 minutes to walk to the T. Most of the things we did were one stop away. We were there for about 4 days and we bought a week pass for the T for $22.50. It got us everywhere we needed to go. Way cheaper than some other cities where we end up Ubering everywhere. It’s also super close and a short/convenient drive to the highway. We drove from CT.
We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and had no trouble finding parking about a block away. Free parking is unlimited on weekends and weekdays after 4. After that, you’re technically supposed to go out and move your car every 2 hours. We were a little upset to learn this. We contacted Tim the night before and he insisted that it was extremely unlikely that we’d get a ticket. We didn’t move the car once and we didn’t get a ticket. Obviously that doesn’t mean it can’t happen. Just a heads up.
I think with a few more creature comforts (like extra blankets) and a fresh paint job, this place would be a real gem. Beds were very comfy, too. I think we slept better than we normally do, tbh.
