“Incredible value for a furnished studio in a prime neighborhood”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I stayed at CAJ House 2 times over the past 6 years - the first time at the Worcester Street location, and most recently for the month of Dec 2011 at the Tremont Street location. I have lived on and off in Boston proper for 15 years, and know the neighborhoods, price of rentals, and hotel costs very well. I can attest that CAJ House offers an incredible value for a furnished studio in a prime Boston neighborhood (South End).

Of the 3 rooms I stayed in, all have either hardwood floors or laminate floors that look like hardwood - my preference over carpeting for cleanliness. The mattresses were very comfortable, and sheets were of good quality.

The Tremont St location is great; just 2/5 of a mile to the Prudential in Back Bay where I was working (and location of a Green line train stop), and ½ mile to the Back Bay Orange Line/Amtrak station (on the route to NYC). It is also very close to all the restaurants in the South End (home of many of Boston’s top and trendiest restaurants). Tremont is a busy street, so I requested a room in the back and it was very quiet. Parking can be tricky in the South End (even with a resident sticker) but there are some non-resident spots between the Tremont Street location (at the corner of West Newton) and Mass Ave where you can keep your car for a few days (easiest to find such spots in the evening). The Worcester Street location is also convenient (7/10 of a mile from the Prudential), and is on a side street that is more residential.

The owner and caretaker are very helpful and responsive.

Note the kitchenettes are perfectly sufficient for heating up take-out or preparing simple stove top meals. They are not equipped for much more than that.

“Great value in great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

My friend and I rented apartment T6 for a month. We found the location to be wonderful with an abundance of quality dining options within a short stroll as well as its proximity to what we found was Boston's best nightlife scene.

Walter and Mike we extremely helpful and provided us with many answers and suggestion for what to do for someone new to Boston.

I would highly recommend an apartment in this building due to its location and the very practical features of the apartment.

“Great location and well managed apartment”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

I stayed here for two weeks starting June 21, 2011. I rented unit 4T. The unit was clean and well appointed, with huge curved glass windows overlooking Tremont St. Vibrant neighborhood, close to restaurants, public transit , shopping and museums. Walter and Mike were both very helpful. I would definitely consider Caj House again next time I'm in Boston.

I got my security deposit back right away which was also nice.

“CAJ House - my Boston home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2011

I found CAJ house on the internet and my 6 months stay during one of Boston's harshest winters has been nothing short of wonderful. My apartments at both Worcester and Tremont Sts were clean, spacious, comfortable and warm. I had everything I needed for my 6 month stay, and anything I didn't have was graciously provided on request (not that I needed much!). The location of both buildings is superb and literally everything you need is either on the street, or short walk away. But great location, and clean and comfortable apartments are not the main feature of CAJ house. For me, the uniqueness of the CAJ is the personal attention, care, service and great humour of Mike and Walter. Their dedication to tenants is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble. They make CAJ House a safe and welcoming home. There are many examples of this, but perhaps best exemplified by Walter's remark one freezing mid-Feb morning, as he was shoveling snow from the Tremont St pathway - "I just want the tenants to be happy". And he really does. You become part of the local South End community just by mentioning Walter's name, and get discounts too! I can't recommend CAJ House highly enough. I am leaving soon, and can honestly say that it's like leaving home.... but I will be back! Thanks for everything Mike and Walter. I will miss you both.
