The other tenants are thoughtful, kind, and sincere, and everyone who works there is exactly the same! The place is quiet--almost a sanctuary!--and it is such a beautiful place to rest at night. I was never concerned about my safety there, and we were on the first floor! There is a mail room, and never once was there an issue with not receiving my mail or packages. It is clean and beautifully maintained, and the people who work there are professional, efficient, and as kind as kind can be! They are thoughtful, accommodating, and absolutely helpful at all times! Heat and hot water are included, and they keep the place warm and very comfortable. We also had two new air conditioners in our walls, they cooled the apartment perfectly in the summer. The water is hot, and the apartment is spacious with excellent cross ventilation. I would give this place 100 stars if it were permitted! The washers and dryers are in a room next to the elevator, and it was there that I met so many nice people from other floors. Everyone, and I mean everyone was considerate. It is a phenomenal place to live, and I highly recommend it wholeheartedly!!!

Conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Melrose, a pleasant residential suburb with good local schools, the area also provides easy access to the Fells hiking trails and public transportation to downtown Boston with the nearby commuter rail (which is far enough to not cause noise issues). Although they do not offer as many shared amenities as other locations, the apartments are well-fitted with modern accommodations, including washer/dryer and premium kitchen appliances. Rent prices are comparably affordable for the area. With regard to service, they have been exemplary in my experience. Specifically, they were gracious and understanding of my situation when a family member was ill and I had to be away for an extended period of time. Without their support, I would not had peace of mind about my living situation while I was away. Thank you very much Corey 10!

Walked around a bit after checking out the inside and was even-more pleased - there is an awesome little strip of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars right around the corner that is lined with hanging and potted planters (adorable). I chatted with a few people while walking and everyone I came into contact with was really sweet and friendly - love that community feel.

I lived there for a over a year. This past Thanksgiving I saw a mouse. I reported it to the office…read moreand they had maintenance come and put down sticky traps. It caught 5 mice. Then the exterminator come he put down bait boxes. I came home that evening and found 2 dead mice in the living room. Over the next couple of months I found 20 more. It was so gross and they just kept coming. I asked if anyone else had them and was told unless the other tenants reported it they wouldn't know. There was so much mouse poop in the apartment it was disgustingl. I asked to get out my lease and told I could. I started looking for a new apartment and found one. Prior to my leaving I found a least 10 more. They never exterminated the building. They only did the ones that had reported seeing mice. I have to say that was ridiculous. How would they ever get rid of them. I also experienced a terrible time with my upstairs neighbor. He was obnoxious. Played music so loud it shook my apartment. He would start around 9 pm and it would go on for hours. They did talk to him but he did this continuously. Then he would get drunk and yell at his girlfriend for hours. I would not recommend this complex to anyone. The rent is cheap but the building is run down and loaded with mice.

I had scaffolding over my windows with men looking in my windows every day just about. The noise was horrendous! Then they didn't actually replace the window until the next year in January! Not only did they damage the interior walls, which the nails came right through the outside of the building into the apartment. They just painted over them. Dripped paint all over my dinning room chairs. When I showed them, they just said they didn't do it. Yet it was their color!!!!! My bedroom windows Leaked water all over my bed every time it rain. The first time I reported it, the maintenance people said that the front office was well aware of it and their was nothing he could do. That I should put towels down where it leaked!!! These were not the windows they were replacing. Again I came home and my bed was wet from the windows leaking, the maintenance people came up with plastic sheets that they taped to the wall and a bucket for the water to drain in. It took several additional leeks, and my bed being wet, for them to finally do something about it a 1 1/2 later! The windows were so bad, that mold built up all around the windows and walls. Even on the new windows they installed which the wood blinds shook when the wind blew! The garage door came crashing down on back of my brand new car as I was pulling out of the garage and did $7,000 worth of damage to my car! The front office manager refused to give me the companies insurance company info so that I could get reimbursed for the damage. After several month, she finally gave it to me. Even after the Reading police said that their was something with the garage door. You pay $100 a month for a garaging space. They allowed young children to ride their bikes in the garage in and out of cars, even on a nice day! When I was worried that they might damage my car, they just said to let them know if it happened.... ugh This is a non-smoking community so you should not be able to smoke marijuana in the complex. Their was SO MUCH Smoking OF Marijuana and the smell was awful! You could walk down the halls and the smoke was do bad, your clothes and apartment reeked of the smell!!!!! Even the Manager of the complex smokes cigarettes' on the grounds! The walls are so thin that you hear people pounding above you, the TV's and music from across the hall way apartment was so load that people from below the apartment were coming up and pounding on the door to tell the occupants to turn the music or TV down. When I reported this, I was told that they could have it that load during the day! I couldn't even hear people on my conference call! Last but not least, they allowed a full grown German Shepard, that had bitten two dogs in the complex and the owner could not control it, to stay at the complex even though that dog bread was not allowed in the contract and over the weight limit to be there. They made a young couple move out because they had a German Shepard puppy! Yet this dog, which had been reported to the front office several times, was allowed to stay. Where was our safety??? I guarantee that if you go to building #3 in the back and look up at a tree, next to the entrance of the building, that the plastic garbage bag (that I had asked several times to be taken down) is still hanging in the tree! If you decide to move into this complex, be aware, It is not a safe place to live as the building doors are constantly left wide open for anyone to enter the building. You pay a VERY HIGH rent and for what you get, it is not worth it! STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

AITA? After doing a little bit of internet searching for a…read morecarpet cleaner I found K-A Carpet. I saw on Yelp they were running an offer for $50 to get $100 credit on service. I went on their website and decided just to book through their website as I like supporting local businesses, especially if they invested in an online presence. Some background: I moved from South of Boston to North of Boston, and my new place wasn't so new and needs some cleaning before I move-in. I talked with the owner who said when they get their carpets cleaned they are usually charged for three rooms for the place, so I assumed it would be equivalent to 400 square feet. I also wanted to clean the tile/grout from the kitchen and bathroom - at least the places where foot traffic was, so I figured for the bathroom would be 25 square feet and the kitchen about 50 square feet. Thus, I put in for 75 square feet of tile/grout cleaning. Okay, so I add those services and pick a day that the owner of the unit would be there prior to my arrival. I pay the $60 down-payment to confirm the online order. I sent the owner cash to pay, with $65 extra in case of any overages or in case they do a wonderful job and feel the need to tip $20. The day comes, I receive a call from the tech at 12:06pm who is doing the service when they arrived on location. I let the tech know that I'm not on-location but the person there is opening up the garage for them now and that I left cash as payment for their services with him when thee services are complete. And at that time he told me that the garage door was opening and he was greeted by the owner. Minor issue 1: I received a call from the owner at 12:08pm saying that the tech requested the full bill to include what I paid in the down-payment and wanted to verify if I paid anything up-front. I then pulled up the email and credit card online statement to be sure that I was charged the down-payment and told them that I did in-fact pay the down-payment of $60, and the due at completion would be the remainder balance of the invoice. So, what was up with the tech not knowing how much to collect? Or was that a tactic just to get more money when he knew he wasn't dealing with the person paying the bill? Sure, could be an innocent blunder not looking at invoice very closely. But that got solved. I get to the location the following day and talk with the owner who informed me that they liked the carpet cleaning service, but didn't like the chemical or perfume in the cleaner as it made him cough. I looked around and the carpets were cleaned decently enough. Could I have cleaned it the same or better with a rug doctor mighty pro or bissell big green machine rental - yes. I then as about the tile in the bathroom or kitchen as I also expected the bathroom or kitchen to be done as I paid for 75 square feet of that too, but was told that they didn't. The owner then handed me back $60, indicating he thought the tech only deserved a $5 tip. I asked if they mentioned anything about the tile or grout cleaning service, to which the owner said no. I then reached out for support using text messaging to see what K-A's side of the story was at 9:54am. And after a phone conversation at 10:29am, they informed me that the space was larger than anticipated, and when they spoke with the person at the property they got "no response," however, if they were wrong they could reschedule to come back. The part I thought was strange is the "no response" because I got a call when the amount due was in question... Why didn't I also get a call here, either from the tech or the owner saying something isn't adding up. I can understand if there was a miscommunication on the exact dimensions of the space, so I voiced my thoughts, which verbatim are "I'll check and get back to you. If you don't hear back from me everything is ok." I get the space measured, and turns out that yes the measurements were a little off, but according KA's own ordering/scheduling system was a difference in price of $50 if they charged exact amount of carpet space plus 100 square feet for the actual 105 square feet tile/grout. Or a difference in price of $77.50 if they charged 125 square feet for the 105 actual square feet of the tile/grout. The owner had enough to cover $65 in case this exact thing happens. And you would think a reasonable person would accept $15 for an extra 5 square feet of space, instead of the 90c per square foot they charge in the 25-sq.ft.block billing. Or could have just said it was 100 square feet and pocketed the rest as a tip. I bring this information back via text messaging and get told that they would be happy to schedule tile and grout cleaning for $250. Also that I'm entitled to a $12.50 refund as that is the difference between what I paid and what services I received. Me: Why didn't the tech contact me like they did earlier if they had a concern with size/scope of job? "If the person on-site couldn't make a decision, that would be more

I was looking for a short term, fully furnished apartment in Medford, MA that was close to downtown…read moreMedford (Main Street), and reasonably priced. MAC Management had just opened their first furnished apartment and I lucked into being their first customer. The apartment was listed on Craigslist Medford, and the pictures looked nice, but the apartment looked very small. Michael the owner held the apartment for me while I drove across country, which I really appreciated. Upon arrival in Medford, I met Michael at the apartment and he showed it to me. First of all, it is very well located, and only a short walk (4 blocks) to downtown Medford. The building is 150+ years old and very well taken care of and charming. The apartment was much larger than I expected. It was very clean, freshly painted, nicely furnished, with large flat screen TV in the living room, and a smaller flat screen TV in the bedroom. The furniture is new, neutral, and very comfortable. There are 2 brand new air conditioners in the living and bed rooms. The apartment is on the 2nd floor, which I like for security and privacy reasons. There is only street parking, but tons of it. I can almost always park right in front of the building, and if not, I can find a spot on the side street that the apartment overlooks. Being an older building there are several charming quirks, the hardwood floors are gleaming, but a little wonky due to the building settling. It's really noticeable in the entry hall, which I find charming. But the rest of the apartment is quite level. The bath has original looking tile and tub, but the sink, and toilet are brand new. Several of the doors swing open or closed on their own, because of the settling, but again... charming! Nice linens, and plenty of them are provided. The apartment is stocked with all the paper goods you could need. There is no artwork, so it may strike some as bland, but I find it restful. There is a charming built-in in the living room with drawers, a cubbby area, and glass doors. Very original. And the bed was really comfy. So the apartment is just dandy, and I've been really happy here. But even better, Michael the owner has been an absolute prince of a guy, so responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this apartment to any single or couple planning to stay in Medford for a week, to an extended stay. It is way more reasonable than any local hotel, it's in a neighborhood so you'll feel like you live here, and the owner Michael is the best. This place is a real gem!
