Overall I would rate my stay here as 2.5 stars, although it could have been higher if a few things were changed. There were some great things about this space as well as a few major issues that I had.
First of all, you should know that this is a company owned apartment. This is not someone's cozy home that you are staying in and to me it had more of the feeling of a cheap hotel.
The good: The location is top notch! This apartment is located right off of an awesome historic and lively street filled with shops and restaurants. You are a very short walk from the Boston Commons park and garden, and you could easily walk to just about anywhere else in the city. The apartment itself was a pretty good size with a nice spacious bedroom.
I had two main issues with the place. First, I don't know what they were thinking with the blinds that they chose. The bedroom has large windows and the blinds are basically semi see-through sun shades. This caused two problems: I feel like the apartments across the back alley could fairly easily see into the room. It also means that the apartment is way too bright to get a decent sleep. There were street lights bleeding into the room making it impossible for me to sleep well. I wound up rolling up a t shirt and putting it over my eyes to try and block the light. I shouldn't have to do that when I am paying this much for a place. Get some curtains in there, they cost next to nothing.
The second issue is also related to sleeping. The bed was not comfortable at all. I am not someone who needs high end bedding, but these sheets were terrible. I've slept in $10 hostels in Bolivia with better sheets. They were super scratchy and starchy feeling, they honestly irritated my skin. Overall I got a terrible night's sleep here.
I would have probably worded this a little more reserved if this were a private home but when it's a company with multiple apartments around Boston there is no excuse for not having curtains for the windows or decent bedding.
