kitchen

Our suite was in a wonderful neighbourhood of Brown Stone buildings. We were on the sixth floor and the small lift was adequate. Bathroom was spotless, and the kitchen was well equipped except for the lack of a plug for the sink, a tea towel, and had insufficient tablets for the dishwasher. A couple of light globes needed replacing. Using door codes to get into the building and into our suite was efficient. We enjoyed our stay. 

Well situated in Boston

Booking was smooth, however the apartment we were in is nothing like the pictures. Luckily the apartment was lovely anyway. It is very loud at night, I guess due to the location, but as the AC unit is half in and half out the window (seems to be like this a lot of places in the US) it made it very loud and very cold. I had to sleep with a hat on! Location is great though and we had no other issues whilst there.

Great Location - Very Loud

Recent stay in unit 6f.  Faces front of Beacon Street is 3 bedroom & 2 bathroom. Has older elevator for use or stairs. The elevator  is very compact and dated. We used the stairs mainly. Location is great, good size apartment in an older building that has been remodeled.  Has some quirks due to age of building. Could be somewhat difficult with really young kids and elderly as there are multiple steps/levels in the apartment. These would be in the living area and 2 upstairs bedroom. Two notable nuisances are the windows in both upstairs bedrooms that do not have window coverings on them. The light/sun starts coming in the early hours which is very bright so an eye sleep mask would be recommended. The other is the air conditioning which is tricky to set as there is one thermostat regulating the up and downstairs. We found that upstairs was warm at times but the downstairs too cold. For the most part we would stay again,  if not just for the location. Keep in mind this is an older building,  so some modern aesthetics will not be present. Host was accommodating when additional towels were requested. 

Family vacation

We stayed at this accommodation for two nights and it was almost impossible to get sleep. The air conditioning was extremely loud, so was the freezer that sounded like a helicopter. 
It was unbearably hot during these days and the air conditioning was only for the living room. Upon our arrival the heating in the bedroom was on, so we spent the first night on the couch. 
The place was also not very clean and we found hair from different people in the kitchen sink and on the moldy shower curtain. 
For this price, we were really disappointed. 
Too bad, the area is really pretty and the location great for tours. Size is also okay.

Way overpriced and terribly loud

We were due to check in today to this apartment but unfortunately a medical emergency in the family meant that we had to cancel just 2 weeks ago.......
we advised and requested a refund on compassionate grounds.....we were advised that there would be no refund....
now on their website I can see they are fully booked so they have rented the apartment again.....
a nice additional income for them....
this is clearly not a business with compassion......
the other hotels and apartments we booked in Washington, New York and Toronto have either refunded in full or part which we really appreciate...
when we do manage to make our trip to boston we will certainly not stay here...

Cancellation 

It could be different now but I  had a horrible experience with this company  in July 18.
I made a booking with them at New Beacon Back Bay as the place looked nice & had an elevator which I needed due to Mobility Problems back in June 18 to stay at 113 Beacon Street in July. I received a confirmation letter  from them stating they had taken full payment for my Booking from my card for the 2 days total $598, (I later found out from my bank an additional $29.90 had been taken off my card without my knowledge or written notification being sent to me
as to what it was for. 
Day & time  of check in came and still heard nothing by email or phone of how to access the Property or where to pick up keys etc so  I give them a call to ask them and I am  then told that the apartment I had paid for in full had been overbooked and was not available at all & we would have to be moved to another apartment near the Prudential building.  I asked if this apartment nearby  had an elevator to access the apartments and the person said no and then said I would have had climb 11 to 13 stairs anyways  to get to 113 Beacon St. I said I needed the elevator as my Brother & I have a lot of luggage & I also have mobility issues & Medical equipment.
They said sorry but there is no elevator at the new place. They said it is only on the second floor.  I said I booked  113 Beacon because it had the elevator. I asked if there was anything else available in the same building on Beacon St. Then I was offered a two Bedroom APT at 113 Beacon St for the first of our two night booking but we would have to move to the other property for the second night. I explained that I had also booked & paid $60 for parking near Beacon St.  I asked them to pay for this parking and reserve another parking space nearby if we eventually decided to stay at the second apartment they agreed to do this which was helpful.
After discussion with my family who I was meant to be visiting with that day, I decided that I wanted a full refund & also all parking costs paid for as a place without an elevator would not work for me due to my mobility problems and my relatives offered to let us stay with them for the two nights that we were meant to be in New Beacon Back Bay  at 113 Beacon St.If we didn't have relatives in Boston we would have been stranded.
I could not get a hold of someone by phone to help set up this refund at the contact number for New Beacon Back Bay. I was getting more & more stressed & upset as this chaos messed up the whole day with my relatives, so much so I ended up vomiting.
Finally I got in touch with an extremely efficient & helpful & kind manager  at the Inn at St Botolph who helped to resolve the situation, secure the full refund, & parking Fees & other costs incurred since we had travelled in & out of Boston instead of staying in Boston as we had originally planned.
I would suggest staying elsewhere if you don't want your vacation messed up.
