This location is truly stellar and hosts were helpful, especially about checking us in early. It's a spacious, sparkling clean apartment and the pillows and beds are exceptionally comfortable! Enjoyed the keyless entry, TV set-up (Roku) and WiFi. We had tickets to a game at Fenway and could not have been more pleased with the short walk. Also loved the convenient grouping of a wide range of international restaurants just two blocks down the street as well as all the restaurant options one block over on Boylston.
I must also mention that some maintenance issues and bare-bones amenities were problematic for all of us. The apartment bathrooms have no bath mats, no hand towels and no washcloths. Kitchen had no corkscrew, no toaster, no coffee/tea set-up (other than the pot and the filters), no cooking basics like salt/oil. Quite understocked as to number of glasses, cups, etc.
Maintenance issues:
-front bedroom closet door is totally off its track
-cannot fully close front bedroom door (let alone lock it)
-hall bathroom towel bar continually falls off wall
-cannot fully close or latch hall bathroom door (means you are sitting on the toilet 3 inches from the opening!)
The lack of privacy with the bathroom door and the front bedroom door might not be a problem for a family, but it was definitely awkward for us traveling with another couple.
The Hot/Cold control lever in the front bathroom is a more serious problem. It's installed so that the reasonably comfortable temperature is achieved when the lever is at about the 9:00 position. However, it's either loose or not properly attached, because its own weight slowly pulls it down, which is hotter. If that isn't a clear visual, please just understand that the water gets dramatically hotter, all by itself, while you are busy doing something like rinsing soap off your face, and someone is going to get scalded if you don't fix this.
This is a super apartment in an amazing location, and if you get these small things taken care of, it will have a big impact on your guests' experience! Thanks again.
