Location great. Apartment ok, but description and pictures didn't match reality. We were not aware that our unit (#3) had a cellar-like feeling, without much daylight coming in. Moreover, the possibility to store luggage after check-out on the day of departure was not there and would have been very helpful for us.

Location was lovely. The toilet “whined” regularly. It seemed whenever any water was used in the building we knew. The steep, narrow curving stairs made luggage carrying a challenge. Two hand towels and two wash clothes for 7 days was skimpy. We would have preferred regular TV options. Again, the location was excellent.

Amazing old hardwood floors and marble fireplace! BUT the bathroom had inadequate ventilation and a mildew smell. Also the windows could not be left open securely - because the room was on the ground floor the windows had to be kept fully locked for security - there was no way to lock the window in place but have it a little open for ventilation. Also, the windows lacked proper coverings - because the unit was on ground floor people outside could see in - but the only shade option was solid wood shutters. I love the old fashioned wood shutters, but the room desperately needed window coverings that let in light but provided privacy.

Great location with beautiful architecture around. Perfect for a week to spend in Boston and/or commute by public transport to other cities. Clean and fully furnished apartment, though sometimes the air gets a little damp (around July)

The location is great, very central, a lot of things are walking distance, air conditioning, apartment is equipped with the basics, noting special though. The shower curtain in the bathroom had a strong mold smell. It took a while for me to figure out the source of the smell. It was the outer curtain. We vented the bathroom all day and night and I sprayed peroxide on the curtain after I realized the source of the mold smell. A bathroom vanity would have been nice. The bed was too small for our taste. The communication with Sonders was uncomplicated and efficient. We had a great stay in Boston otherwise.

There was no salt, only one soap. It was difficult to get help. In general, a great place, close to different tourist spots, close to the T. Very pretty apartment and furniture

Our room (#1) was amazing. It was very clean, comfortable and had everything we wanted. Great location, most of the main attractions were 10-15 minute walk. Before we arrived I had all of the information that I needed to gain access to the building and room. We were in room #1 which is located on the main floor, we were able to get to our room by entering under the main stairs. My only issue were the pillows, the bed was very comfortable but the pillows were thin wafers. We had to use the decorative pillows for comfort. I highly recommend booking a room with them. Next time we are in Boston we will defiantly book this place again.

Quiet, clean, comfortable, very well located, and fairly convenient, but lots of stairs and no street parking.

The apartment was in a perfect location and was in good shape. It would have benefited from a full length mirror and more storage space for clothes and shelves in the bathroom for toiletries. Otherwise it had everything you need. The café table in the kitchen was broken and wobbly. We reported this but it was not repaired during our stay.

DO NOT BOOK! 1) No elevator and the apartment is on the 5th floor. 2) The windows are permanently sealed and the apartment stinks of mould. 3) only two 40ml bottles of shampoo/conditioner for 7 nights’ stay.
4) The communication is horrible- I called to ask about the windows and for 40 minutes on the phone I was reassured that it was my fault that I was too weak to open them. Two long calls later and two days later a “caretaker” came to check and (surprise) the windows were sealed permanently.
5) despite all the above, they charged me 47 dollars for checking out at 2pm.
Save your backs, save your money, save your peace of mind. Don’t book this.

Overall good, definitely need a light in kitchen area and need to spend a couple of hundred bucks for a smart TV

Great space - such great ambiance! Can't beat the Beacon Hill neighborhood. Would have liked to stay longer!

Beautiful little spot to stay in the heart of old Boston. It is a basement/ground level studio so everyone could see in but it isn't too busy of a street, and there are big shutters inside that close when you want more privacy. When we arrived we couldn’t figure out how to use the lock which led to some confusion and frustration at first, but you just have to place your entire palm over the lock screen. Not very intuitive in my opinion but we figured it out. Overall a great stay especially for the price.
