I had an absolutely awful experience with my Blueground stay. I booked an incredibly expensive 32 day stay, and when I arrived at my apartment, there was no working AC or fridge - and a horde of other issues (including safety issues and missing items). I was told to be patient for over 10 days and when issues remained unresolved and I had to continually message and call the host to get answers until finally I got AirBNB Support involved and I was relocated to this unit.
This apartment is fine. It’s very cookie cutter, but had some nice touches in the kitchen. But there were several problems with it (soft snd seemingly wet floor boards in the kitchen, loose vent on ceiling so it’s clanks when people walk on the apt above you, and the couch making a cracking sound when you sit on it. The only issue that was addressed during my stay was the freezer, which was fixed promptly, the rest remained unresolved. For the amount of money paid, I expected a much better experience.
Insofar as location, the gym, doorman, and lobby are a nice touch. The W/D works well. But you are not really in walking distance to much in Boston. While it says a 10 minute walk to the seaport, you are more like 15-20 away from the shops and restaurants there. You are about a 5 minute walk to the shops and restaurants on Broadway, but they are much more limited to what’s in the city. The building itself is surrounded by shipping facilities and warehouses. There’s also barely any street parking for guests (but there is a parking garage that can be used for $15/day).
Communication through the BG app is inconsistent. I spent over ten days fighting to getting a resolution to my issues with no AC or fridge. BG will always answer the call (and are good about shipping missing items such as a plunger, frying pan, and other things you would expect) but most of the time you are just told to be patient - requiring you to constantly follow up on things.
Overall, my experience was incredibly poor - especially for the price paid. If you are considering this apartment, please know that it is fine - but I would not think it’s worth it for the expensive price listed.
