Guest Reviews

• Brame Perry (10/5): Most Definitely Hope to Come Back, A Slice of Paradise - I had never visited a property like this before, in terms of using door codes and the like, but gosh, it felt like home once I got there. I am the type of person who stays out all day once I leave, and it was marvelously comforting to know that no matter how worn out I was, I had a clean and modern and comfortable space to myself when I made it back. If I lived there full time, it might've been a bit cramped, but for the purposes of my visit, it was so spacious and inviting. The hosts had this whole packet prepared that I was able to peruse when I arrived, and it was abundantly clear that they love hosting people. Really an exceptional stay from beginning to end. If I had to critique one thing, it would probably be the A/C units, just because of how they were situated. They were attached to the window, but the blinds weren't retrofitted for them, so it was a little awkward to just try putting the blinds down at an angle. Also, the unit in the living room was sealed onto an open window, and I got paranoid each night when the air sucked in or out, because it felt like someone was entering through the door. But I get why they did it how it is, and they were just trying to make the place comfortable. Can't fault them for trying!
• Melinda (10/5): -
• Eric (8/5): A nice apartment in a great location. - The hosts were very responsive and helpful, both before and during the booking. The unit was very clean and well maintained. The location is excellent. As others have warned, the stairs are steep and narrow. Tall people can easily bump their heads on the stairs and in the bedroom - we did several times. The sofa is comfortable as a sleeper, but less so for sitting. The dishwasher door is missing a spring and it flops down hard.
• campanella (10/5): -
• Lina (10/5): Exceptional - The food recommendations in the first book were great! And the location was awesome, we loved being able to just walk to where ever we wanted
• Crennier (10/5): We Loved Our Stay! - We truly enjoyed our stay! The space was beautifully decorated, spotless, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The view, layout, and overall vibe were fantastic—it's clear the hosts put a lot of care into creating a welcoming environment. We wanted to get into the property an hour earlier at 2 pm, and the hosts were accommodating about setting up an additional payment so we could enter one hour before check-in. Just a couple of small things to note: there are two flights upstairs leading up to the penthouse that are quite narrow and steep, which may be a challenge for some guests or those with heavy luggage. Parking on the street was limited and required some patience. While many people love memory foam beds, they are not our favorite, but we managed.
• Jacqueline (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ron (10/5): Exceptional -
• Carolyn (8/5): Very good - Location Parking
• Birgit (9/5): Superb - The apartment was beautiful, clean, and cozy. We were 3, with our daughter sleeping on the living room couch. It was plenty of space for us. The view was great. The place was very well taken care of, very comfortable. Not a complaint, just an observation. The stairs up to the apartment were very steep, and you have to walk 2 floors up. As long as that doesn't bother you, this place is great!
• Nell (9/5): Superb -
• Edward (10/5): Exceptional - great location no breakfast
• Karen (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect. We were able to walk to so many places. The apartment was so well decorated and the hosts had so many cute personal touches. Parking was limited to the street. We were able to find a spot 1 street over. Not a huge inconvenience.
• Dennis (10/5): Perfect location. Easy walks to everything. - Top floor. Good views. Great location. Great accommodations. Stairs 😁
• David (10/5): Had a lovely stay and would absolutely come again - Lovely light and airy feel to the appt. - great location by the seafront and easy walk into town. Had all the facilities you need and nice touch was the coffees, snacks and wine welcome pack Only minor issue is the air con pipe going out through the window let in some road noise and the warning bells from the bridge crossing but the supplied ear plugs helped
• Matteo (10/5): Exceptional - Location was ideal and the views of the Gloucester Harbor were amazing!
• Barbara (10/5): Exceptional -
• Susan (5/5): I felt taken advantage of. - The lighting and location were both magnificent. When I booked, I told them I was needing to use the kitchen to feed four people. I wasn’t going to cook. I brought food with me. Soups and stews. I couldn’t heat them in one batch. There was one small pot and three soup spoons and three bowls. Not the biggest deal. But disappointing since I asked specifically. The shower backed up to my ankles. It would have been deeper , but the hot water lasted ran out quickly. This location was a splurge. I was the only one sleeping there. My son lives locally in a small apt. I could have stayed in a high end hotel, but wanted to have a place to gather with my sons. I specified that. After not having hot water, I called the number they left. They were so gracious and upset that both those things happened. The cleaning service ( or management group) was held responsible and I was promised a 20% refund which I never received. It’s been 7 weeks. I tried contacting owners, they no longer answer. Gloucester is pure magic. The location is great. This was a major disappointment. Especially having booked accommodations way out of my price range. I have never written a negative review before. It pains me to write this one b/c I was so certain the owners would do the right thing and make sure that booking.com did the same. I will post an update if I finally get my 20%. See above.
• Bryan (8/5): Very good - Great location and amenities! Steps up the room were very narrow, tight for luggage haul.
• Darlene (10/5): Relaxing weekend for my husband and I. - Beautiful apartment. Loved the decor! Great location. Stairs were steep and narrow. Servants stairs, back in the day🤷‍♀️Not a big deal. But could be for some.
• Jacki (9/5): Superb -
• Jason (10/5): Exceptional -
• April (10/5): Really very nicely done, so comfortable... - The property was so great - loved the view and proximity to the Harbor. We were visiting Salem, it was a perfect distance from there.... really loved this property. It was really great - No complaints!
• Eric (10/5): Stayed here for a wedding, it was great and the hosts reached out a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. - Looks exactly like the pictures, great location near town/water. Really nice facilities.
• David (10/5): Great place to stay. Will definitely stay here next time! - Loved the apartment. Would gladly stay here again. Staircase was narrow, but we managed.
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lea (10/5): Loved it. Will be back. - Well appointed. Great view Nothing
• Keith (9/5): Superb -
• Kathleen (7/5): Good -
• Joyce (10/5): Great location, price and accommodations. Safe and friendly vibe. We will be back. - We booked the space for my daughter's 13th birthday. Her father is deployed and we were looking for something special. The host offered to decorate the space prior to our arrival to surprise my daughter. It looked great! The room offered a beautiful view and comfy furnishings. There was a block party in town that added to the fun. We enjoyed the beach at sunset and sunrise! The location was perfect for traveling by foot.
• Barbara (8/5): Very good -
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alexander (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (9/5): fun time in a fun location even in crappy weather - cozy clean location “ no country for old people” three flights and narrow staircase made it difficult for us. BUT we are old! once we rearranged our luggage and left the big suitcase in the car everything was fine. Parking is hit or miss. on the other hand , you’re never really more than three minutes. bottom line- whatever the downsides the upsides overwhelm them.
