A really nice cosy place near the NEU campus, perfect for parents who wish to visit/drop-off their wards when classes begin.
What I liked:
* Clear instructions for checking in, staying in the apartment and checking out - a breeze
* Beautiful apartment from the inside, tastefully done with a 'Smile'!
* Sufficient lighting and power sockets, excellent wifi that helped me work and stay connected
* Location - right next to green line, lot of good eateries nearby, Laughing Monk, Il Mondo Pizza, Bringham Circle Chinese, TGIF, Stop and Shop, Walgreens, Seven-11
* Apartment was well equipped for 1, kitchen had tea bags (very welcoming!), essential crockery and cooking utencils, refrigerator, oven, microwave, toaster, soap etc.
* A set of towels and bathroom essentials (shampoo, etc.)
* Neighborhood is generally very decent with students all around at all hours - felt safe.
What I wished was better:
* The entrance to the main building was at times (during weekends) littered with trash.
* There are a couple of frat houses nearby and they never turn off their balcony lights! It kept shining brightly on my face even through the blinds. Wish they were more environment/energy conscious.
* The second floor wooden/iron-grill staircase to the apartment has curved/bent a bit towards the left, so one needs to be careful while climbing up with a big luggage item. I wish it was a little less steep in terms of step height. Hopefully in the next renovation it will get fixed.
Thank you Cassandra and Michael!
