My only issue is the heat. It wasn’t working when we arrived, and they “fixed” it after a couple days. I only ever felt air from 1 vent, and it wasn’t able to keep up when temps were below 40F. They do have 3 space heaters which kept it comfortable even when really cold (boston in January). The inside was very nice and comfortable, and it really does look like the pictures. We stayed for over a month, so we used the kitchen a lot. It’s a nice kitchen but I brought a lot of pots, pans, bowls, and tupperware since they didn’t have a lot of those things. Laundromat is very close and really nice. Public transport is also very close and easy to use. They were very responsive with questions I had, and brought stuff over when it wasn’t there. Since we were there so long, we were almost out of toilet paper and were told it would be delivered a couple different times. After 5-6 days they asked us to purchase, but they did reimburse us.
We loved the apartment esthetics. Great space for sure. Very clean, the beds very comfortable. The couch beds were actual futons and not the greatest but were fine. Prior to booking I did ask about the electric being fixed due to a previous review I saw. I was told it was taken care of. However we had no heat besides electric space heaters that could only be run in one room at a time or the electrical box would trip. It was a bit chilly. The house was old so you could hear dogs walking around upstairs. And occasionally heard talking. Which made us feel like we were being too loud even though we were just talking.
Extremely responsive and helpful. Great accommodations. Just like the pictures.
