Great views, friendly staff, and walking distance to the T, grocery stores, shops, and restaurants make it attractive. That said, while the space is comfortable, several aspects make it fall short of the "luxury" label it's marketed under: 1. Outdated indoor and outdoor appliances 2. Basic and outdated wire closet systems 3. Worn doors and outdated aluminum / metal window blinds 4. Basic gym equipment and common spaces 5. Wi-Fi that doesn't extend well 6. Bathrooms without vents 7. Cars moving in the garage cause apartments to shake 8. Residential garage entrances are shared with the public, making access difficult during business hours 9. Occasional mouse sightings in apartments 10. Trash areas that frequently smell 11. Dusty carpets in hallways Overall, Montaje delivers on location, but the building's condition and amenities don't meet the standard of a high-end property - especially given the level of competition in Boston's rental market.

Some good things: * I haven't had to turn on the AC even though the weather has been 90'+ in the last few weeks. The apartment naturally stays between 70' to 75'. * I have NEVER heard my neighbors! The sound insulation is wonderful. (I know they exist because I've seen them in the hallways.) * The concierge desk is so helpful... Some concierge members will take groceries to your door or really do anything else that's kind and caring. * The community spaces are beautiful. Common areas are finally opening up, and I can't rant enough about the sky deck and courtyard. I'm so excited for the fitness center to reopen too! So happy to be a resident here! I can also easily walk to Trader Joe's or Stop and Shop, run along the water, or shop at any of the outlet stores in 10 minutes or less.

Honestly, the sad part is originally I would have given this place a better review. But with the…read morecircumstances as they are, I'm fairly upset with the apartment complex currently and if I had known two years ago this would have been where I was at, I probably would have gone with a different complex. First and foremost, if you intend on having any unexpected life changes I would suggest a different complex. MetroMark makes you sign a 90 (NINETY) Day Lease Break agreement, and I fairly certain when you are breaking a lease you generally do not know THREE months ahead of time that you are breaking this lease. In my case it is that I was offered a job on the west coast. Secondly, they also do not allow subletting. So even if you find a suitable person to take over your lease, they won't allow it. You also are not allowed to add a roommate until your lease is over - so couples looking to potentially move in together please be aware of this. Lastly, they will not work with you on the renewal amounts. This renewal cycle they wanted to raise my rent $450 - and while the potential new renter I had in line was willing to sign the renewal if they met him halfway, I was told that the amounts were as they stand. Yes, it is a pet friendly community, but most people don't pick up after their dogs (I am a dog owner and while I appreciate the available dog bags people rarely use them). The only reason this is a two star and not a one star because I am frankly very angry they are not willing to work with their residents when it comes to life changing events, is the cleaning staff is very kind and do their best to keep the building clean. Do with this review what you will, but please make sure you take a look at your leases before you sign them - especially since this place has shown they're just in it for the money grab. Ask for a lease example for any place you apply to and make sure the terms fit what you are looking for, because frankly if the last three years have taught us anything, you never know what life throws you and I suggest finding a more sympathetic apartment complex.

I lived in the MetroMark apartments for three years (6/18-6/21) and overall had a very positive…read moreexperience. I ended up having to find a place in Boston from afar (and then move sight unseen) and was able to easily browse open apartments on their website and then work with a staff person to get photos of the place I'd eventually live in and secure a lease. Moving in was super easy--I think I just paid a $250 deposit apart from first month's rent--as was moving out. I leased a one bedroom apartment while I lived here and it was clean and spacious. The bedroom was big (several feet to each wall on every side of a queen bed) and there was a walk in closet that had room for not only my dresser, but also storage space for plenty of boxes--lots of cabinet space in the kitchen and a coat closet in the main room, too. All of the appliances were new and nice and I only once had an appliance issue (an electrical problem with the dishwasher, which the staff fixed right away). I'd also never had a washer and dryer in an apartment before, so that felt like a luxury. All of the appliances were energy- and water-efficient, too, which was great. I lived on the sixth floor of my building on the side facing Washington Street and the bus depot. I never especially had street noise issues and only once had a noise problem with a neighbor. I also lived next to the elevator and never heard it. I will say that even facing mostly away from the train tracks, I heard (and felt) the trains constantly. It didn't especially bother me since I already slept with ear plugs in and my bedroom was carpeted, but I can see how it would be an annoyance for some. I always found the MetroMark staff to be polite, helpful and responsive (I most recently most often was in touch with Jaz in the office and Joel at the desk--both great people!). The one time I needed after hours maintenance help (small issue with my AC during the summer), Joel was super helpful. I did also think that the building management did an excellent job trying to keep residents safe and informed during the pandemic. I never really used the common spaces at the buildings, though they looked nice. I did find it a little odd that the TV lounges didn't have cable service, though the computer/study area did have good wifi and a printer. The one thing that I did use a bit was the gym--nice weights, treadmills and bikes, but it felt small sometimes for how many people were using it (especially at night). I never had a car in Boston and it was nice that the building had several Zip Cars in the parking lot, though I eventually preferred using the Enterprise rental location down Washington Street for longer trips. The location of the building and the neighborhood were both outstanding. I worked downtown and my commute door to door via the orange line was about 35-40 minutes. Jamaica Plain is a great neighborhood and having the expansive green spaces of the arboretum, Franklin Park and the Southwest Corridor so close was fantastic. South and Centre streets in JP are great little main streets with lots of good restaurants and bars and independent shops. One thing that I didn't love about my lease terms (though the language was very clear) was that the month to month option was extremely expensive. That said, I renewed my lease twice and my rent did not go up one dollar in three years, which was amazing to me.

I lived at Mezzo for four years would definitely recommend the building to anyone who's looking for…read morea pet-friendly, comfortable apartment, but doesn't want to shell out for a luxury building in downtown Boston. The building is located right on the city line between Charlestown and Somerville, which means you get easy access to both locations, but it's kind of a weird in-between neighborhood that can't quite figure out what it wants to be. However, more and more businesses opened up over the years, and the orange line T station is directly behind the building, so you have no shortage of things to do. I personally loved the location because it's a bit quieter and you don't have to pick between Somerville/Cambridge and Boston, but if you want a completely walkable neighborhood, I'd look elsewhere. The building itself is nice and well maintained, but because the rent is a bit lower, you're not going to get the luxury gyms, pools, community rooms, etc. you might see at other big Boston buildings. It's modest, but it has everything you need. There's a little playground and dog park directly across from the building. Covered parking is available in the garage for an extra fee (again WAY cheaper than in downtown Boston). I also have to give a shout out to the maintenance team at Mezzo--every issue I ever had was resolved same day. The leasing office team also does a great job planning resident-appreciation events and activities every month. I had a unit overlooking the courtyard (which is lovely in the Spring and Summer) and the massive floor to ceiling windows (every unit has them) were always one of my favorite things. The walls are also so thick, our neighbor was always blasting music and you could only hear it when you were in the hallway, never from inside the apartment itself. The only downsides in my opinion: storage was pretty limited with only one closet in my unit, and as many of the other reviews here mentioned, trash piles up on every floor of the garage each week. Being close to the T also means a decent amount of foot traffic at night and it's a little rough around the edges. I always felt pretty safe and would walk my dog alone at night, but you do hear some stories and it's best to keep your wits about you. Overall, Mezzo is a great place to live, moving out was definitely bittersweet, and I'll miss a lot about this place. Just don't expect top-tier luxury from a building where you aren't paying for it and you won't be disappointed!

After nearly four years at Mezzo Design Lofts, I reflecting how our experience has evolved and…read morehighlight two distressing events that posed a threat to residents' health, safety and security. Once you start comparing similar-priced apartments, you'll see you won't get your money's worth at Mezzo. The building has a garage that doesn't always open on the first few tries driving back and forth to the sensor - even after a new system was installed. Despite the package locker system they advertise, your items can be left in the hall, in the loading dock or outside the building. And you'll walk past overflowing trash bins in the garage and outside the building on a regular basis. Even after meeting with management about these issues in February, they have not been resolved at the time of writing this. It should not be the residents' job to police and report communal problems affecting the building. However, after two first-rate staff members Paul and Rob left their positions here, that has become the norm. (Don't get me wrong, I can live with those minor annoyances. There are much bigger problems in the world. It just seems weird that we're paying for them.) The deal breaker for me was a serious lapse in communication following reports of a resident running down the halls with a potentially dangerous weapon in the middle of the night. Despite repeated requests to Lincoln Property Company's local and regional management for reassurance of our safety, they argued that it was not their responsibility to send out any apartment-wide messages per their privacy policy. They maintained that perspective even after emergency personnel were stationed in the parking lot the following day and police were on the property again the next week. Their response that they followed "normal protocols" felt like they were more interested in protecting the company than protecting us. That same week, Mezzo hired landscapers, unannounced to residents, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. They clustered in front of the building without masks or maintaining distancing guidelines. The governor's order on essential businesses at the time permitted landscaping for "the safety, sanitation, and essential operation of residences." Tending to the flower beds does not contribute to resident safety and instead increased our risk of exposure. Mezzo chose to prioritize the look of their property over resident safety and city guidelines. When asked to be directed to supervisors regarding this issue, the property manager informed us she would "not be escalating anything because there is no issue." However, after a quick call to 311 about the governor's guidelines, they opened a case and asked me to report any further incidents. Mezzo advertises itself as a "community you can call home," but while you're here, you'll learn it's best to butter up to management and humor their gossiping about residents. Don't bat an eye when they complain about hosting resident events and tell you that tenants should think of better ideas. Get comfortable with a resident manager who will tell you to wait to use the community room you pay for each month so he can finish a personal call. After an exhausting several months keeping track of possible lease violations, threats to resident safety, and management's apathy to getting our money's worth, we decided to save our money and leave. As is their MO based on phone calls and back-and-forths over email, they'll insist that proper steps have been taken to ensure residents' wellbeing. They'll deny claims of unhelpful and unfriendly management. My efforts working with Mezzo to try to improve our experience has been met with false promises, denial and poor leadership, which doesn't instill confidence in me that they'll fix these or future residents' concerns.

I really want to give a minus point if it's possible. The only trick their managers could do is…read moreignore former renter's reasonable request, so I have nothing to hide anymore. One more thing I need to remind you guys is that the 5 stars reviews are published by the pressure of managers by 50 bucks so be careful. Actually my move-in date should be August 15th last year and the real move-in date is September 23rd. That was a miserable time,we take our luggages from place to place searching for short rents because of the 5 times of delay.That really sucks. After I moved in,things are getting a little bit better.The apartments are new and the facilities are okay.But we didn't get our compensation after several hard meetings with the manager which should be all set already but ignored by the managers. The price is going higher and higher and it's totally not worthy to live there. There are tons of apartments which are better than this. This apartment just trick new coming international students and trust me, I've lived there. What's more, good services cannot be the reason to ignore people after they moved out. They didn't return my security deposit after I moved out, even don't return my emails so be careful of the irresponsible managers. After been here for this long, choosing Residence@MaldenCenter is the worst decision I've made because I not only met awful managers but also suffered from serious arrogant and naive&disgusting roommates. I'll never made that mistake ever again. If I can't get my security deposit back, I think it's my obligation to let everyone around here to know, be careful about this apartment. Some things are not what they seem to be.

I talked to the leasing office and they said they would let me switch when another spot becomes available.
