Very communicative and accommodating for an early luggage drop off.
Noticed some mold on the front room curtains and a hole in the ceiling.

Would have been nice to have more towels and ones that were not so rough.Step out of bathroom needs another step for older people, it is quite high and there is room to install it.Shelf over bathroom sink makes washing your face difficult without water going everywhere.Location of property quite neat as area being revitalised. Lots of restaurants!

Upon checking in, there had been a notable leak through the ceiling , with plaster hanging, water and debris on the floor. Obviously the leak had been ongoing, there was noticeable mold on the ceiling. I cleaned it up and phoned the manager. Leaked again the next day. Plumber came a couple of days later and no further leaks. Was hoping for some reimbursement, perhaps a days rent? Also. Needs a coffee maker.

Nice, clean property and we loved that there was plenty of space for two people and we were close to good dining options. Nothing too
Great little place, super well situated in trendy North End, steps away from good food, coffee and shopping. Walkable from downtown, quiet and safe. Comfortable mattresses.
