“We stayed in a studio unit for 3 nights. The unit was perfect for us. It was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The complex is very well maintained. The location was perfect - in a quiet residential area, but within easy walking distance of State St, the beach, and several historic sites. The parking under the building was very convenient. Communication/reminders by Zenstay were very helpful.”
