Pros: amazing location! We’d step out of the building and be smack dab in the middle of Newbury, which was fabulous. Excellent shopping, food, and “walkability” in Boston. Super convenient that it is near the Charles River esplanade, which made for some great walks.
Cons: air freshener please! When we arrived, the studio smelled like cigarettes. Also, the window was broken and the other one is hard to lift, so we couldn’t circulate air. Since it’s a studio apartment, all of the smells (cooking, cigarettes, etc.) mingled, which was somewhat unpleasant. One other thing to note is that the very front door of the building was oftentimes not fully closed because guests were not pulling it shut. Overall, a fabulous location, though, and a comfortable stay.
