Resident 2006 - 2010

6/2/2010

Overall, I'm very happy with this place. The rooms are large, and in my unit there's lots of storage space (and now that I'm moving, I realize it even more than ever as I need to box all those things!). The heat is included in the price, and it depends on the unit for the temperature. My place was always so hot that I had to open the windows sometimes, and my neighbor across the hall was cold and had to use the oven in her kitchen. Street parking is great - you can't beat $10 a year and I always found parking close by. Laundry - there are laundry machines between two floors (so between 1 and 2, 3 and 4), so you don't even have to go down to a basement - it's right there. You need to take into account that there is only one machine for two floors of 6 units (so one machine for 12 units), so you have to develop 'laundry strategy'. Mostly, I never had a problem. Fixing things - I never had to wait for more than a day to get something fixed. They always call back and are very nice. Mail - for some reason, mail packages sent to me would disappear sometimes. My solution: I'm sending large packages that won't fit into my mailbox to work. You can also get a POBox in Central sq. or Inman sq. Location - it's awesome! you have Foodmaster & Market Basket in a walking distance. Lots of places to eat in Inman Sq., there's the Thirsty Scholar so close that I didn't bother wearing a coat in the winter(!). if you have a pet there's a pet clinic right there. Pet policy - while the lease states no pets, they over look small animals like cats and small dogs. Transportation - you have the 83 that takes you right to the building, and 86 & 69 very close. Walking distance to the T is 20 min. to Central, 15 to Harvard and 25 to Porter. Rooms - you should be aware that some units have rooms with no windows, which is odd at the beginning, but I discovered I liked it - no sun to wake me up in the morning, and no glare on the TV. I'm mostly in the living room, so didn't care about the windows. Overall, I do like this place. Excellent location, great price and specious rooms.
