The potential is amazing - i would invest in an interior designer support - the furniture was tragic - falling apart - the bed broke and was replaced - the kitchen is not leveled - so floor is totally slanted - bit its an authentic victorian home so - its cool... the lights to the bathroom are outside the bathroom and the kitchen lights are also not in the kitchen. the tv didnt work - or maybe i couldnt figure it out....it was very quiet and very close to the river and during The Head of the Charles - would i come back - YES. amazing location - but i would invest in a paint job. better furniture -....paint the hallway - kinda trashy - if you are young and dont Give AF its perfect - if you are expecting to be wowed in comfort - take a sleeping pill - its fine..i wish i could buy this building and elevate its potential.

The apartment was very clean and well-equipped. I had a little trouble getting in at first, and the proprietor gave me quick, clear instructions over the phone. The apartment is a little shabby -- torn carpet, missing showerhead, things like that. But it was very clean and comfortable.

Cozy and quiet

This was the perfect place to stay for a night. It’s a great place to walk around. We wished we stayed another night. Inside the place is a little dated but we loved it’s charm and character.

They left bottles of water and snacks which was nice. The apartment and house is in need of repairs. But it had all the all gadgets to use. Cupboards old, floors old.stairs old, property needs to be maintained. It was a nice quiet area and walking distance to stores.
