It was cute & well-located. We were comfortable though the ceilings are quite low in spots (attic) and the ac was so loud, it was hard to hear the tv. The kitchen was nicely stocked. The spiral/short stairs are a bit much & there was a funny smell, seemed to be from the bathroom. Loved walking into town to explore.

Weekend Getaway

Really enjoyed our stay in Ipswich! The apartment was perfect, from the well appointed kitchen to the super comfortable bed! The unit does have steep stairs to get into the apartment if mobility is an issue this is not the place for you.

Ipswich visit

The rental is clean and comfortable and checked all the boxes for our stay in Ipswich. Very centrally located and it was a pleasure dealing with the host. I would recommend it for it's location and comfort. The stairs were challenging since it's an older house but not a problem. Many thanks to the host.

Cozy place just like the pictures

We had a wonderful time staying at this apartment. I will say the pictures and description are absolutely accurate, so expect what you see. For us it was perfect.I'm 6' tall as is my oldest son and there was lots of crouching and ducking, but for a few days it was just fine. The stairs were good exercise for us with all the great food we were eating. The place was super clean, and the location central to everything we wanted to do in Gloucester and in Newburyport. The hosts were great and responded to all our questions quickly and made it easy to rent from them. We would absolutely stay again! Thank you!

Exactly what we needed!

We are frequent travelers to the New England area to see friends and family, and wanted to stay somewhere with a bit more character than just another hotel. This apartment was perfect! Tons of character but with many updates. Very clean, even for older home standards! Many thoughtful considerations for guests including stocked kitchen, coffee/tea, spices, range of viewing options on huge TV. The apartment was nicely updated with items that complemented the home well. Our son (8) was super excited to have his own room with all of the angles of the roofline (we were on the 3rd floor) and loved going down the 3 story spiral staircase! He said he felt like he was in a tree house. Very cute and well maintained rooftop deck with patio table, chairs and paitio lights. We wouldve enjoyed the deck.more, but the weather didn't cooperate. When we come back to the area next time we will definitely see if this place is available! Thanks again!

It is a quaint little attic apartment in a 100 year old home. It is a 10-15 min walk to the train station which will take you many places. There are many restaurants just up the street with great food. There is a laundromat about one block up the street which makes it easy to wash clothes and get them back to the house. It served its purpose of allowing a place to stay with 2 bedrooms and a kitchen. Wanderson was great when we messaged him about some stuff and came the same day to fix it. It was a bit warm but the portable and window unit ACs do help. Both stairs are spiral, steep, narrow, and difficult to navigate with luggage unless you are very strong. The kitchen is small but serviceable. Shampoo, body wash, conditioner, and towels are provided as well as coffee, tea, a few spices, and sugar/sweetener. I am in my 40s and my mother is in her 60s and we were having some trouble with the stairs by the end of the day when we were tired. Make sure the shorter person stays in the room with the AC unit as the gabled roof creates an interesting ceiling (see photos), I may have hit my head more than a few times when not paying attention, and I’m only 5ft 7in. The second bedroom has a door out onto a nice little balcony and access to the second spiral staircase that is outdoors. Overall while we probably wouldn’t choose to stay there again, it isn’t the fault of the apartment or host, it is due to our own health and limitations.

When you open the front door to enter this is the view of the stairs.

Clean and Comfortable

We really enjoyed our stay in this little rooftop apartment. We are a family of two middle-aged adults, a tween, and a teen. As mentioned in the descriptions and other reviews, the stairs are a bit steep, but we managed them quite well with our carryons, and actually preferred the outdoor spiral stairs. This apartment is small, clean, and perfectly serviceable. It's not a luxury space, but we weren't looking for that, and we were very happy with our experience.We were there during a particularly hot few days (at one point, my husband's phone said it was 104 degrees out--oof!), but the larger AC unit running in the living room plus the one bedroom unit kept the apartment at a very comfortable temperature. Note that if you do need to close bedroom doors to sleep (we have light sleepers as well as loud snorers, so this was necessary), the one bedroom without an AC can get a bit warm. However, there's a very nice pedestal fan that kept us generally comfortable through the night. And if you are lucky enough to be able to keep that bedroom door open, the main AC unit will keep you comfy. ;)We had one issue crop up during our stay, and the owner/manager was very responsive to texts and the issue was quite quickly resolved. We very much appreciated his professionalism and quick replies.Overall, a comfortable, clean place with some fun quirks and lots of character (slanted roofs! the spiral staircase!). If we are ever back in the area, we would be happy to stay here again.

Clean & Cozy

Very clean apt. Parking was great, right on premise. Great location, walking distance to downtown Ipswich, which is very historical & nice town with a few places to eat, have drinks. We enjoyed the 5 Corners Cafe for breakfast. Had dinner at The Brown Dog, staff at both places were very friendly and food was very good! Where we stayed was everything the owner said it was. Third fl apartment. Nice deck on the roof. Kitchen was perfect with all the ameneties. There were two very comfortable and clean bedrooms, one bedroom has sloped ceilings so you have to pay attention and so you don't hit your head. The living room was comfortable with a large smart tv. The only thing I will warn you about are the to accesses to the apt. Inside steps are very steep in a tight hall. The other access is a narrow and steep spiral staircase. But these things are mentioned clearly by the owner so, no surprises. We had no issues with this. Owner was very friendly and responsive. I recommemd this place!!

Convenient and Cozy

We were in Ipswich for a family reunion and needed two bedrooms. Apartment #3 was great as one of the bedrooms has a door to the outside roof deck. This made it easy for me to come in late and not wake anyone. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again.

The listing is accurate, stairs are steep and the property is certainly a classic. No issues, perfect for the wife and I and walkable to a cute downtown. Had dinner at the brewery and brunch at Heart and Soul, both were great.

Adorable

My granddaughter, her husband and I spent 6 days here and we loved it. We loved the character of this little apartment and especially enjoyed the deck/ patio off one of the bedrooms (the one I stayed in). Warning though: it is on the top floor with access by a spiral staircase outside or a narrow wood staircase inside. I am 72 so it was a bit of a challenge but I knew about it before hand. It was all good and we definitely recommend it for your stay. I had a couple questions and the owners responded almost immediately.

Wonderful apartment...crazy stairs

We really loved the 3rd floor apartment. This is in what we would consider a historical home and the attic conversion for this apartment is pretty well done. It was clean, nicely appointed & we had everything we needed. The one down side, which is clearly stated in the description and everyone else's reviews, is the stairs leading up to the apartment. They are steep, winding and narrow. So if you have any luggage larger than a carryon, you'll want to leave it at the bottom of the stairs or your vehicle and just carry up what you need. We were prepared for this and didn't feel that it took anything away from our stay, in fact, it added to the historical feel of our trip. We did only stay one night, so if you think you want to stay longer, just be prepared with a smaller piece of luggage or a bag to bring up what you need for the day/night. The host was delightful from start to finish. We would definitely stay here again or at one of their other properties.

Steep stairs!

Overall, our stay was fine. Great location and the unit was clean. Host was very responsive. Although we knew we were on the 3rd floor, the stairs were steep and narrow. One of the bedrooms has a slant in the ceiling and 1 of the guests hit her head pretty hard and has a slight concussion. This unit would not be recommended for elderly guests.
