To start with positives: The home is beautiful. It's very, very spacious and decorated in beautiful period pieces. It's in a good location, it has dedicated parking, and a spectacular view. It's a good price for the space.
The negatives: The condition of the home isn't *quite* as grand as presented. There are chunks of wall and ceiling that have fallen off. The fireplaces are barely attached to the wall. The showers are dingy and one was missing a large piece of tile. The kitchen was filthy, and that's not an exaggeration. It was so dirty we opted to not use it even after scrubbing the fridge, counters, and microwave. There were fruit flies throughout the house.
The thermostat is controlled remotely and we froze every night. We did contact the property management company, but the issue wasn't fully resolved. Part of our party had an infant and they ended up getting a hotel because the baby screamed all night from cold. We slept in coats and gloves. There were no extra blankets. We only had a sheet and a very thin duvet. We had to go out in the middle of the night on the first night and spend nearly $100 on blankets.
There was no shovel or salt provided, so when we received several inches of snow we had to knock on a neighbor's door to borrow a shovel. This is New England. Snow, ice, and cold temps are common, but the house was not at all equipped for it.
The management company was less responsive than we'd have liked when we contacted them.
All that said, it wasn't horrible. It truly is a beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood. The temperature in the living areas was fine and we were comfortable and able to hang out as a family and play games. I wouldn't say to NOT rent it, but I'd caution you to lower your expectations, and bring warm blankets if you stay in the winter. The view of the sunrise over the city every morning made up for a lot of the shortcomings.
