Ideal North End 1brm Central To Everything

Wonderful apartment for my family to be in the Boston area for the 4th of July weekend! The location was perfect for walking around and sightseeing and we felt like we could have stayed another week! We would definitely stay here again if we are in the Boston area.

The property is right in the heart of the North End with easy access to EVERY thing! However, the property wasn't the cleanest. There was hair all over the bathroom and crumbs in the couch. When we stripped the bed, there were gross stains all over the mattress cover! Also, there is NO water pressure in the shower. The silverware could use an update to something that doesn't bend when you use it. And one of the stools in the kitchen is broken, so be careful. The light in the closet doesn't work, at least we couldn't find a switch for it or the bulb had burnt out. Lastly, no checkout instructions, hopefully we did everything we were supposed to. Fix some of those things and it will be GOLDEN!

Great location and perfect size place for a couple or small family of 3-4.

We were really disappointed with this apartment, everything felt cheap and sad. I have been renting vacation spots for 30 years and usually find that reviews are spot on, but this listing is the exception. 1) Everything felt dirty, the grout, the bedding, the bathroom, etc. We found hair and dirt on the bedding so asked for replacements and were turned down. The living room carpet definitely needs to be replaced. 2) Everything here feels basic. The towels and sheets are very cheap and thin. The shower curtain is the cheapest I’ve ever seen. There were no trash bags in either trash. The closet light doesn’t work. The curtains are cute, but they have a big hole in them. There was a broken smoke detector just laying out on the TV console. 3) The “fold out sleeper sofa” in the listing is…not that. I’ve never seen anything like this before, it’s sort of a futon with one part that folds? We were trying to put a full grown adult on it for a week. It might work for a kid?4) We had three adults in this apartment for a week. There was not enough toilet paper, paper towels, or sheets for the living room sleeping situation. Our third person brought a sheet from home, as she was arriving the next day. I had to ask for the other items, they were delivered the next day.5) There is nothing “newly renovated” about the bathroom. It needs a thorough cleaning and some repair work. One positive was the window AC unit which kept the place pretty cool, even in a heatwave.

Would have liked an information binder with maps, subway line information, local do’s and don’ts, check out procedures, what to do with trash, etc…Also, spend a couple bucks in the bathroom and put down something in the shower to keep people from killing themselves when they slip. And a shower curtain that’s not the absolute cheapest option. Other than that, the location of the unit is incredible. Right in the heart of the north end, history all around. Had a great time and if we come back to Boston, we will be booking this unit again.
