We stayed in a quaint apartment located on the 4th floor
We stayed in a quaint apartment located on the 4th floor. There are no elevators which made lugging our belongings up and down 3 floors of 18 winding steps quite taxing, though managed. It was clean and had all amenities listed though misunderstood the ‘sofa bed’ for an actual pull out mattress, not a futon. The location was close to all the things we wanted to do and see and the surrounding area is beautiful, despite the rainy weekend we had. It’s can be quite noisy at night with all the emergency vehicles going back and forth so I’d recommend bringing ear plugs for anyone who is a light sleeper. Overall, it was just enough for what we needed and local to the event we were attending. Drew was extremely responsive throughout!

Nice unit well furnished
Nice unit well furnished. Bed was comfortable. The unit itself was quiet from neighbors but the street noise was quite loud. We come from a quiet place so this may have felt heightened for us. Would’ve been nice if the host had supplied a pack n play. Very walkable with ample public transportation options nearby.

Great little spot
Great little spot. Incredible restaurant literally in the same building with many others nearby. Easy to get to busses/subway. AC was ice cold. Noise from the road is the only downside but it was to be expected in this area of the city.
Only note I have is there is no blankets for the sleeper couch

Apartment was exactly as described/pictured and very clean and comfortable for our group of 4. Host was very responsive and helpful. Great location and walkable; went to dinner at Mida adjacent to building which was fantastic. Coffee shop down the street. All the comforts of home! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Had a great stay
Had a great stay! The area was very walkable and anything we needed was provided by the host prior to our stay.
Overall a great stay. We had six nights there visiting family and sightseeing.
Positive:
The location, corner Mass Ave and Tremont Street, is great for getting around central Boston. Short walk to train and bus stations. Couple of very good cafes and restaurants nearby. Quiet apartment with a handy kitchenette, good bathroom, and lounge room. The couch folds out to an extra bed space. The main bed is a double. We were on the top floor. 20 minute walk to a Star Market for groceries. We walked to Fenway Park, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and Northeastern University.
Negative:
The night time street/traffic noise was tough initially, but with earplugs you get used to it quickly.
Great location and Drew was awesome with answering questions
Great location and Drew was awesome with answering questions. Just a few blocks from the T, so it made getting around downtown easy. Great restaurants everywhere! The apartment was very cozy and comfortable and has great views of South Boston. Only two recommendation for future visiters, know that the apartment is on the 4th floor, hence the great views, and there is no elevator, and go ahead and prepay for a parking spot through spot hero near the apartment. It will make your stay so much easier! We would 100% stay here again.

Roomy, clean and conveniently located to great restaurants, cafes and the T.
The host was extremely quick to answer any messages.
The area is a little loud but that is to be expected in a busy city area. The apartment was super clean and had everything we needed.
I would definitely stay here again!
Drew’s place is absolutely amazing

Good location but some issues
Positive:
The location was very good and the building and decor were stylish. The apartment was nicely furnished and decorated with a good view from the big bay window in the lounge.
There is an excellent restaurant downstairs - MIDA, plus others nearby.
Easy access to Harvard by a bus across the road or by Uber/Lyft.
Negative:
The apartment is on the top floor, with several flights of steep stairs. Not good for small children or anyone with mobility issues.
Neither remote control for the TVs worked and as it was torrential rain the first day, we wanted to watch the TV. We had to wait until much later in the day for a maintenance man to come without notice. I wouldn't have been happy about this, had I been a woman on my own. He knocked and would have walked in, had we not opened the door.
There were two bedside lamps, but one had no socket to plug it into. The sofa bed was uncomfortable for our son.
The kitchen facilities were limited to basics with an electric table top hob and a microwave, rather than an oven.
The worst thing was that the owner placed a deposit charge of several hundred dollars against our credit card the day before we left, with no warning or notification. This was not listed in the terms and conditions.
This resulted in us almost stopping our credit card, thinking we had been scammed. We had no idea where the charge originated and it took a process of elimination and stress, before we got to the bottom of it.
The charge was returned but was later put on again, days after we had left the apartment. We have never experienced this before.
Super cute place in the best location

We really enjoyed our stay here
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was lovely and clean and had a real Boston feel to it. It was a good walk to local attractions but this suited us as we like to explore on foot and the restaurant downstairs was really lovely.
The great thing about this is that the place looks EXACTLY like the photos
The great thing about this is that the place looks EXACTLY like the photos. Very pleased about that. Some suggestions: could use some standing lamps or table lamps. The overheads doesnt make for a cozy ambience. It was either too bright or too dark, with them off. I think this would be an amazing place with better lighting. One glitch I experienced was that there was no remote control to the living room TV. Took about 3 days to get one, which was more than half my stay. Would have liked some courtesy compensation for that, since I had planned to watch the US Open tennis on those 3 days in the apartment.

Perfect spot for a sisters weekend in Boston! The space was clean, had beautiful natural light and looked like the photos. AC units worked well for hot weather in Boston. Check in was easy and automatic locks worked well.

Beautiful place, excellent location, very responsive host, and my favorite: super clean. Note there are a lot of steps to get to the room but in the end it wasn't difficult if traveling light. It appears that all the places around are similar in structure, and you really cannot beat the location - close to Berklee, Pops, and bus and rail lines to get into the center/Common or out of the city. Easy 30 min from the airport by public transport or 15-20 min by Uber (at night with little traffic). I would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. Check out the Italian restaurant just at the base of the building- so delicious!
Really nice area, lovely space to stay, couple of restaurants near by.
Positive:
Key pads on doors... perfect. Felt very Safe. The bed and bed linen were lovely, really clean. The space is airy and generally a lovely comfortable stay.
Negative:
Would have been good to have a full-length mirror, I shared that feedback with the owners. Maybe a note to say if the tap water is OK to drink. I was hoping for some bottled water but there was none. It does say in the small print but I was on the top floor and there is no lift. It wasn't too bad carrying cases up about 3 flights of stairs.. all good exercise ! 🙂 But maybe not so good for less able bodies.

The apartment building is in great shape, freshly painted and everything feels new even though the building itself is quite old and beautiful. drew is a very nice host. Both the bedroom and convertible beds are very comfortable. I was very happy with everything.

Drew is a great host. Very responsive and we loved his place. Would def come back.
Nice place but needs better comms and description. And they need to sort out teething issues, hot water etc
Positive:
The property is new and well presented. I like the style and Decor.
Negative:
There is no hot water. We were on the fourth floor of walk up, fine but tell us in the description when we book, not afterwards. New property, has done teething issues, done sockets don’t work, hence the tv doesn’t. No communication channel with anyone to resolve anything
