We had a smooth check in and relatively nice stay at Prentiss Place. The location is GREAT - only a few blocks from the Porter Square T station and just around the corner from restaurants and stores! The common areas are also beautiful, the host generally responded quickly, and the room is new.
However, I’m a bit conflicted about the value of this booking. It cost about as much as area hotels but the room was a bit smaller than those of average hotels and there’s no housekeeping. The shower/tub leaked water on the floor and it made for a somewhat messy bathroom experience. (The virtual concierge said they’ll look into resolving the issue for future guests.)
Also, the sofa bed pulls out to a twin and was rather rickety and was strangely sloped downward. If you sleep on it, you’ll have to be right next to the rather strong and loud A/C. Our neighbor was also a little loud and we could some - but not overwhelming - noise through the walls.
So...if you’re alone or a couple, the location, cleanliness, and convenience could be awesome for you. But if you need two beds or want a hotel experience, you might want to consider booking elsewhere.
