It’s not their NEWBURY Street property, for sure, but It’s also less expensive. That doesn’t justify the general lack of attention and investment in both the building and respective units. The building is old but the first impression walking into a fairly dark and dank set of stairs was a bit depressing - I’m fairness, I was expecting what I’ve experienced at their other properties - and I was underwhelmed. I stayed in unit 7 and unit 3. Unit 7 was not ready for prime time in my opinion. Drawers that didn’t open, closets doors missing doorknobs, stained duvet, a tv literally held to the floor all with wads or grey masking tape and a bathroom that felt like something you’d find in a boarding house. The toilet had floating tissue in it, the seat itself was chipped and disfigured showing years if not decades of use/misuse. Missing shower tiles exposing black grout had me going from mild disappointment to shock then a bit of anger. This management Co has a stellar reputation which, from what I’ve experienced elsewhere at other properties, is well-deserved. This building should be taken off the market so they can address the obvious decline of it and it’s apartments.
Unit 3 was much better - it renewed some faith in Maverick but it, too, could use a reboot.
As a host team they are very responsive - you never wait more than a minute for a response. However, they’re about as inflexible a host as I’ve yet to experience. They run a tight ship and expect much of their guests - this is a food thing only if they expect at least as much of themselves and the value they claim differentiates them from the Airbnb pack.
