It was clean and well maintained - with many thoughtful touches by the host. We liked that we could walk to the harbor and coffee shops on one side and to Good Harbor Beach on the other.

Great stay
The apartment was very nice, clean and a good location. There was an odor in the front room that we couldn't figure out. It reminded me of a wet dog smell. Other than that, everything was good.

Gloucester stay
The apartment is spotless and was obviously updated not too long ago. Walkable to the best Gloucester beach. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. All in all, a great place.

Great stay
We had an excellent stay at Sergio’s home. The home is easily accessible and in a great location. Easy check in and checkout and parking right in front. Would definitely stay again; Sergio was an excellent host.
Nice little place! Good size kitchen, comfy beds, lots of pillows and towels. Quiet shady streets. Walk abt 15 min to good harbor bridge or bass rocks or stop and shop.

Nice Place
Sergio was very responsive and provided all the necessary information before it was needed. Check out requirements were as simple as simple gets. We ate out exclusively during our stay, but note that the kitchen accessories and utensils are basic. Also, be sure to bring your own games, if desired.
