Lovely weeks stay at the Hancock. Great facilities in the apartment and excellent location. The only suggestion I'd make is to add a floor length mirror and have some English tea bags available.

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)

Great location, apartment not well described
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.

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

William

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.

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

The location is unbeatable, easy walking to some of Boston's best tourist sites and T stops. We loved the keyless entry and easy text communications about check-in/check out details. Our apt had just the right amount of supplies for what we wanted to do. There is zero parking, but we knew that going in and chose not to rent a car while we were in town, which worked out fine.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was no soap in either the kitchen, the bathroom sink or the shower. We washed our hands using shampoo. The condition of the unit was far, FAR below what one assumed from the photos - multiple layers of paint, chipped paint, and none of the amenities listed on various postings in the unit - earplugs, white noise machine? Nowhere to be found. I’ll assume the high price we paid for one night was strictly because of the location. Overall, it was not worth near what we paid. I don’t recommend it.

Boston Vacation
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

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.
