Boston was all booked up so we were glad to find Maverick Suites' centrally located, no-frills studio, in Back Bay, close to Copley Square, Newbury Street, and other downtown attractions and sights. Maverick Suites was very communicative and responsive, which made checking in and out, and communicating, easy and painless.
Some things to note:
- The apartment was on the fourth floor of a walk-up with uneven steps, so be prepared to hoist your luggage up and down in comfortable shoes.
- The room has basic necessities such as a shower, towels, a coffee maker, and a fridge. There is no stovetop or microwave. There's also not really a desk (other than the kitchen counter), so this wouldn't be a great place to work from home.
- There is only one lock on the door (via the code), and no internal lock. I have passed on the feedback to Maverick Suites to also install an internal lock, such as a chain or other lock, to improve security measures, particularly for solo travelers.
- Lighting in the room was spotty, but there was one extra lamp that helped.
