We had a very difficult time at this apartment, since it was actively being repaired upon our arrival, and there were several large industrial fans blasting at full speed to address a leak that had recently occurred. There was ongoing work that required letting people in to do repairs. The issue was not effectively resolved and communication was difficult with so many parties involved— Blueground, Atmark, Airbnb, and us.
On top of that, the apartment is located right next to an active construction site and right next to train tracks with a commuter rail running fairly frequently throughout the day. If it weren’t so bad, it would be comical how loud it was at times. I would not recommend trying to work from this apartment if you like a quiet environment.
This may be something that gets better— the construction will end at some point, the repairs will be made, and maybe this could be a nice place to stay someday if you’re okay with the train noise.
It is conveniently located near the bus line that goes to Harvard Square and near Fresh Pond which is a nice place to walk.
