Loved the location, decor, tiny but complete accommodation. Located just 1 block from where we started our lives in Boston 34 years ago.....what a transformation! We found the on/off switch on the bedside lamps very difficult and awkward, even after being shown how they worked, but that wouldn’t prevent us from returning!

I liked the fire place in the king room and the kitchenette. The staff was excellent. I did not like the shower.

Stayed in the penthouse. It was perfect. Can’t wait to stay again in warmer weather so we can’t make use of the private Rooftop deck.
