    Only two caffeinated coffee pods. My daughter noticed scent of laundry products on the sheets. I didn’t. Besides, it could be a plus or minus depending on your preferences.

    Ideal set-up and generally well-stocked, including often forgotten items like toothbrush and razor. Clean and comfortable. Easy check-in. I liked having a bench in the bedroom. It was a handy place for our luggage. I also appreciated the lights, including lamps for reading and under-cabinet lights in the kitchen. And throw blankets to wrap up in when watching TV. Mirrors. These things set it above many vacation rentals.

    The bathroom is on the smaller side. It was fine for just one person, but something to keep in mind if travelling with a large family.

    Great location and a wonderful place. It was exactly what I needed during my stay in Gloucester. Easy to access and a short walk to Good Harbor Beach. Kitchen is well stocked.

    Wonderful property. Attention to every detail both in how well the apartment was fitted out—the most comprehensive array of kitchen appliances and tools—and to the aesthetics of the wall hangings, furnishings, etc. A great place to come back to and just relax after a busy day in Gloucester and Salem. Host was very responsive.

    Thank you for our lovely stay. We enjoyed the facilities and treats. Carparking was great. The beds were very comfortable and lovely fluffy towels.

    Adorable, cozy apartment! I loved the updated, modern farmhouse decor. There were two bedrooms on the main floor & a bigger attic bedroom on the top floor with its own sitting area & TV.. Perfect for my teenagers to take over for our stay! The kitchen & living room are nicely laid out and have everything you need. It is tucked back in a quaint neighborhood that is only a 5 minute drive to downtown Gloucester. I would definitely come back again!

    The bathroom was very small. The AC on the third floor required a lot of work on our behalf to keep thr room coolemptying it was a chore.

    Great location especially for a good long walk to the water and along the water!

    The coffee pods taste nasty. There are 3 cameras that counted at the property. A ring camera at the front, a camera at the side of the building and another ring camera at the top of the back deck. On day one the owner appeared soon after I arrived so I gathered he was monitoring his cameras. On day 2 he arrived soon after I got back from a walk, then he returned again later about 9pm. The camera on the back deck means no one can use the table and chairs without being monitored. I don’t know what he was doing but to keep appearing like that ruined my privacy.

    The apartment was lovely. Plenty of space and comfortable. I liked the quietness for work rather than the usual hotels. Coffee on the back deck one morning was nice.

    Just a tiny bemol: the 3rd bedroom is gorgeous, very spacious. We would expect at least a restroom,, sa it is alos on the upper floor.

    The appartment is very welcoming, nicely furnished and decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped. We felt very comfortable in this appartment. The access to parking spaces was a plus. Good location in Gloucester
