When I first walked in to the unit, I thought "Perfect!" However, I ended up having two main complaints. Here's the run-down:
Pros:
Excellent location! Close to everything I needed, 5 min walk to Whole Foods, various little restaurants, safe.
Cool building: It really felt like Boston, lots of character. Nice hardwood floors in unit.
Very Clean unit
Hassle-free check-in/check-out
Internet worked very well
Cons:
Heat/AC: I think the unit was broken. On the first night, I could not get it to heat (note, it was 55 degrees outside that night). I called the property management company and they brought me a space heater the next day (which I considered to be an adequate solution). However, the next day it got much warmer, and I could not get the unit to keep the fan on in any mode (neither heating nor cooling seemed to work).
Construction across the street: The building across the street was encased in plastic and was being total rebuilt. This means that there was a lot of construction noise starting at around 7:30am (not a problem for me since I was at my conference anyways). The bigger issue was that the construction site was lit up like a Christmas tree at night and the curtains were not black-out curtains. I ended up hanging towels over the windows to try to get it darker in the room.
I know the operators of this building cannot control the construction, but surely the project has been going on for some time, so it could be included in the ad.
