7 INK

7INK is a great option if you need a short-term, flexible, low-commitment lease during a transitional period. (no brokers fee, small deposit, what you see online is what you get.) I moved into a very convenient 3-bedroom, 2-bath suite and, overall, had a positive experience (considering cleanliness, furnishing, location), especially since I was rarely home due to my schedule. However, I would not recommend relying on random roommate pairings for long-term stays (8mo.+, my lease was 14mo). In my experience, this created logistical and interpersonal challenges. When unwarranted roommate issues arose, including a situation where I overheard a roommate speaking negatively about me and admitting to discarding some of my personal belongings from shared kitchen spaces, there was little support o

I rented a studio apartment at 7INK and lived there for 1 year and 3 months. I signed the lease before I had the chance to see the real place, and there wasn’t any Google Review at that time because it had been opened for just a few months. This turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I worked at Tufts Medical Center, so the location is perfect for me. 7INK is next to Whole Foods Market. It is also close to a CVS pharmacy and two Asian grocery stores (C Mart and New Ming). The main issue that I had was that the trash chute could not be opened on many occasions (I think this is because tenants on a different floor did not close the trash chute on their floors properly). Others minor issues that I had included: - Noise from the highway right next to the apartment. - Slo

I cannot tolerate how often the fire alarm goes off—it’s extremely annoying and inconvenient. Recently it has been happening twice a week, and one time it even went off at 1 a.m. on a weekday. The last couple of times, after we were escorted out of the building, it turned out to be minor kitchen incidents on the 7th floor (someone burning oil and sugar), which were put out immediately. Nine times out of ten, the fire alarm is just a drill or a false alarm. Please fix this—it’s uninhabitable for people who are trying to work or sleep in the building. The renewal policy is also a complete rip-off. I’ve never rented anywhere else that requires a 60-day notice to move out, or else they assume you’re staying after the lease expiration date. Normally, tenants either move out or their deposit wil

I recently moved into 7INK and have loved everything about it so far. Management is super nice and helpful, the building is beautiful, and the units themselves are amazing. Also, because the units come furnished (very nicely, might I add), the move-in process was unbelievably easy. I'm also really impressed with the amenities and events they already have planned. Oh, and you really can't beat the neighborhood! It's one of the best in Boston, and perfect for young professionals. All in all, I highly recommend 7INK.

Based on the raving online reviews, I decided to take a leap of faith and sign the lease without physically looking at the property (I am an international transfer moving to Boston for work). It did not disappoint. Jaimi had been super helpful in handling the remote lease signing and rent payment process, my move-in was smooth even though it was on a Sunday night 10pm right after I landed in Boston, and the fully furnished feature saved me a lot of hassles. Love their apartment-wide events such as the happy hours as well! Great way to make friends in a new city, and all residents are friendly and welcoming.
