Week long stay for grad school residency

I stayed here for about a week during my residency at Lesley University. The unit had everything I needed, from kitchen wares to the standing adjustable desk in the bigger front bedroom. I appreciated all of the supplies, labels, and organization. We had some communication discrepancies with the hosts, including not being able to park in the driveway despite this being stated upon booking.

Great place

The apartment was perfect for our stay, very well organized with everything we needed. We weren’t quite sure about some of the check out routines, e.g., where to put used towels, recycling, etc., but all in all it was great and we would stay there again without hesitation.
