Fantastic South Boston “Southie” condo with plenty of space and amazing amenities We loved the location and all the comforts of home. Meri was helpful, friendly and sent several informational messages. She offered us her cell phone number in case we needed anything. Very nice!!
Keep in mind that the den, kitchen & bathroom are on the second floor and the bedrooms on the third. So be prepared to carry your luggage up two flights of narrow stairs. It wasn’t too bad for us. However it could’ve been difficult for others.
Plus the stairs were pretty narrow & had a low ceiling .. daunting if you go to bathroom at night. Would also be really nice if there was mirrors in the two upstairs bedrooms and a place to get ready since there’s only one bathroom downstairs.
Ubers come quickly and condo is only a 8-10 minutes away from many Boston sites. There are many stores & restaurants close enough to walk and the beach is right around the corner. Parking is very difficult, however.
There is a fair amount of rules. Some of them are totally understandable however it’s a little overwhelming to see such so many rules in a Welcome Book. Makes you feel a little more unwelcome and nervous to remember all of them.
Sone of the rules might be unnecessary with a some additional investments.
o Change lock into apartment to keypad instead of physical keys. Guests won’t lose keys & be charged.
o There is a white couch that has lots of rules so that it won’t get stained. Would be better to get a different color couch. So people can be more comfortable to relax in the evening.
o Change the bathroom wood floors to tile or water resistant floor so people don’t have to hang rugs, turn on fan and keep the bathroom floor so dry.
o Maybe sealing porous kitchen counters so won’t need to worry about stains of wine, coffee or from cooking.
Other things to keep in mind are that the TV has very few channels. Would be good to consider something like Roku. Or smart TV with Netflix.
Overall we really loved the condo and highly recommend the location. If we do come back to Southie to visit, we will definitely stay here again.
