Resident Reviews

I absolutely love it here. The building is clean and well attended. The families are friendly and value diversity. The amenities are just what a city girl needs to feel at home.

Jun 1, 2023

we just moved in and the building is great, lovely and the other residents are friendly. Liam S. in leasing has been incredible. The only call outs have been a few maintenance issues that are hopefully being addressed. So far so good.

May 31, 2023

Miscela Leasing Team was excellent. My expectations are well exceeded. I love the automation and the many APP enabled platforms, Miscela uses for services or amenities.

May 27, 2023

Clean place, great amenities, friendly staff. convenient parking. Only thing I would change is the security camera for the pool faces directly in the windows

May 24, 2023

Super friendly staffs and clean apartment! Also, everything was super quick and well organized. A beautiful apartment. One problem is that i was in lost in the building a few times

May 22, 2023

I've only experienced the lease signing and move in process so far, but it has been more or less smooth. Your experience will be heavily dependent on the leasing agent you have, as some offers are only given from some agents. Upon move in, our apartment wasn't really cleaned so we had to ourselves. It looked fine at first, but we had a lot of sticky staining on the floor and walls that should have been cleaned professionally. Also the cabinets, counters, and floor had grime and food residue.

May 22, 2023

The stay at Miscela has been good. Maintenance is fast at response. The package room could use a bit more organization. I had a package that was delivered but I couldn't find it after so much search. However, can't complain about anything else.

May 22, 2023

Miscela is a very nice place to live and I would recommend it to anyone I know. It is a bit expensive and I wish rent was cheaper, but other than that it is great

May 18, 2023

I have lived in both the montaje and miscela apartments. My time at the montaje was wonderful however my time at the Miscela has left much to be desired. The front door into the lobby is always open and if it’s not the concierge will just let anyone in without identifying who they are. Many of my guests end up at my door without a call from the front desk. I have had two leaks in my ceiling thus far and I have only lived here since March 2023. Currently 3 of the 6 electrical outlets in my apartment are not working. Living in assembly row is great and the amenity spaces are updated but the building as a whole has not lived up to previous experiences.

May 17, 2023

From the moment that I toured, I could tell this was going to be the best place for me to live. The community was exactly what I was looking for

May 12, 2023

Just moved into Miscela and everything is great so far! The building is clean and perfect location to the water and downtown. I especially love the location.

May 9, 2023

Miscela in Assembly Row, Somerville offers a luxurious living experience with modern amenities, beautifully designed apartments, and a prime location that is convenient for shopping, dining, and entertainment. The rooftop pool, 24-hour fitness center, game room, and lounge are impressive, and the staff is friendly and professional. The apartments are spacious with large windows that provide plenty of natural light. If you're looking for a luxurious apartment complex in a convenient location, Miscela is an excellent choice.

May 8, 2023

The place is very nice, I really love this place! It is near the t station and this is really convenient. I definitely recommend Miscela building! 😊😊👍👍

May 8, 2023

The trash room need larger fonts to notice the new tenants to know that the need to throw big card boxes to the first floor. Also send them them the emails when they first start to live. The carpet in the corridor on the 5th floor has smell.

May 5, 2023

Great neighborhood and extremely convenient having the T station right next to the building. The apartment is perfect for our family, and the building is managed very well!

May 2, 2023

Love living here and the convenience of the neighborhood. Almost the most perfect place I’ve lived outside of some residents (mainly parents who let their kids run around at night) leaving the main areas and gym in a mess some nights. No fault of management but definitely a frustration as a resident.

May 1, 2023

The Miscela offers great apartments, a safe location with access to a variety of shops, great amenities, and very helpful maintenance staff.

Apr 28, 2023

My time living at Miscela has been great. I love my unit and it has the best view! Can’t say enough about the leasing team and maintenance team. They all go above and beyond to help in any circumstances. If you like walking around, this is the place to live as it has great shopping, restaurants and bars!

Apr 25, 2023

It's been nice living here. The apartment is clean and maintenance is fast. Management has been good about trying to enforce more rules and send out emails about loud parties, kids running around the building unsupervised, etc.

Apr 19, 2023

I love the apartment, but constant issues with taking a shower make living here a struggle. Considering looking for other living options. I don't want to end up being evicted for water damage.

Apr 17, 2023

Mike from leasing office is the best. He has been super helpful in many ways. He is kind and generous. Always respond to our questions immediately.

Apr 11, 2023

All in all, it is perfect. The location and the area are excellent; all you need is around you and it is a safe neighborhood. Highly recommended

Apr 2, 2023

awesome place to live. great view, great neighbors, great amenities. Staff is always super helpful & professional. Fun place to be in the summer time

Mar 31, 2023

Be Kind. Be Flexible. Be Emphatic. Be Non-Combative. Be Non-Judgemental. Smile 😃 and make it a great experience here at Miscela for your residents.

Mar 29, 2023

Miscela is a lovely place to live. Next to the T station I am close to everywhere. It is surrounded by all kinds of shops and restaurants within a 5-minute walk.

Mar 15, 2023

I find everyone to be quite helpful and respectful. That includes the leasing team, concierge, and maintenance. All my needs are addressed, and are addressed promptly.

Mar 14, 2023

Really like living here, people are much friendlier, especially usual for people in the Boston area. Have had a few issues with maintenance, but the maintenance team does a fantastic job responding and resolving issues quickly.

Mar 10, 2023

What a great place to live. The staff is very nice and helpful. I had no heat the first night and I had to call the maintenance guy came right away to try and fix it. Even thought he wasn't able to fix the heat that night, he provided us with space heater for the night. He came to fix the heat that morning.

Mar 7, 2023

Very nice place to live, the only reason it is not a 5 star is that there is not a very great community feeling here. It would be great to have some community events in the building to get to know our neighbors more!

Mar 7, 2023

I really like living at Miscela. The only complaint I have is that tenants continue to leave the trash room a mess…bags full of garbage, leaking bags making a mess of the floor. Maintenance employees are always great about cleaning it once they are notified but they shouldn’t have to clean up after disrespectful tenants.

Mar 2, 2023

Fantastic and friendly leasing and concierge staff at all hours of the day. Just moved in and settling in quite well, the fellow residents are friendly.

Feb 28, 2023

There are buildings you run FROM and buildings you run TO. The Miscela sits firmly in the former category for me. Since moving in things have only gotten progressively worse. From uneducated, rude staff in management to the incessant alarms and other things going off, it’s just not worth it. Literally. Don’t get duped into paying more than luxury prices for a cut-rate community.

Feb 11, 2023

Great building with good amenities. The Row Location is key! There are many new restaurants and shops that keep popping up right outside our doors.

Feb 7, 2023

I've had a great experience. My apartment has all modern appliances and the finish is really nice. The amenities are great. I use the amenities regularly and they're a great feature of the apartment. Outside of some inconsiderate neighbors my experience at this apartment has been great.

Feb 1, 2023

Nice building, with good amenities. well localize and close to metro station for easy access to city center. concierge could be more present

Jan 29, 2023

Great views! Train not too loud! (Just close the window). Dogs are very friendly here. People are very kind. Love mike the concierge. Also beautiful downstairs area

Jan 28, 2023

Apartment was not in move-in condition--refrigerator filter had not been replaced and the dishwasher was clogged with foodstuff and debris. I am also disappointed by the lack of friendliness by concierge staff. Most seem to hide behind the desk and do not even look up when residents enter or exit the building.

Jan 14, 2023

Love my apartment! Love having all the different amenities spaces in the building as well. Location is great and the neighborhood has so many things to offer from shopping, to dining out, to even catching a movie.

Jan 9, 2023

Some things could be better but all in all a good experience. Having issues with my shower we've tried to address. Hopefully they put a drain in my floor water gets everywhere and leaks into the apartment below me

Dec 28, 2022

This is the best building in the area I was looking for apartment to rent for one year and a found lots of of options in this area but must of the apartment was either small or don't have the view and I found both of these options in it

Dec 16, 2022

I think the residence is tidy and everything works well. the pricing is just ridiculous at times. I wish they would offer more reasonable price or discounts for residents.

Dec 1, 2022

Just moved in yesterday, and the leasing office did a great job making it a seamless process making parking available and working with the movers using the loading dock. Since I’ve gotten here, one surprising was that people are unusually friendly and welcoming to the building. That’s never happened anywhere I’ve lived before.

Nov 30, 2022

This is a beautiful, friendly, and accommodating community that provides a safe and welcoming environment! Can’t rate the amenities, apartments, or the staff high enough as they deserve all of the stars.

Nov 29, 2022

The apartment is in a great location, repairs are fast, and the place is clean. Unfortunately, there are a lot of kids (5-10-year-olds) that are left unattended and run around the building daily. They're often running around in the gym, playing tag in the common areas, and one tried to kick my dog for fun which was quite frustrating. Management has tried to address this with multiple stern messages but the parents don't seem to care.

Nov 29, 2022

I really like very thing except the tv and is soundsrbar in amenities is difficult all time, but I like everything I hope everbody have a huge newyear and merry chrismss

Nov 29, 2022

I am enjoying living here and appreciate the community. I hope Miscela keeps up the good job they are doing. The only thing missing right now is Christmas decorations in the lobbies.

Nov 29, 2022

Rent hikes with 10% on studio. Some Residents are noisy and don’t follow management rules. Plan to move on. Have Smells along some floors. Some children are on the common area

Nov 24, 2022

The folks at the Concierge Desk are wonderful. They are very helpful and informative. My questions are always answered. So my experience here have been positive.

Nov 17, 2022

Miscela is a typical luxury apartment building, though the building is only a few years old it’s already showing a bit of wear. Regardless, the location makes it worth it.

Nov 7, 2022

From the concierge’s, to the maintenance team, and the lease department. They are all genuinely helpful. I am a happy/proud Miscela resident.

Nov 2, 2022

I love how considerate Miscela is! With the amazing amenities to our awesome Maintainence crew, I’m glad to be here. Additionally, the conceirge stuff is so friendly and always makes me feel welcome

Nov 1, 2022

Best in the area, it has everything around you, a lot of restaurants, bars, And retailers under you. Building is very active with the best atmosphere.

Oct 31, 2022

keep the community outdoor space open during the winter months. provide carts in the lobby for resident use. provide a community wifi printer in the common space for those who work remotely or use this space at their leisure

Oct 30, 2022

Friendly service. Amenities need some revision/supervision. Hallways and Trash rooms need more ongoing cleaning. Overall experience is very good so far.

Oct 28, 2022

I am not happy about all the people and kids running around the 4th and 5th and 24th floors. No other residents can enjoy the facilities when they're overrun by these groups of people. I will not be renewing my lease at this community for this reason.

Oct 28, 2022

Great Place to live in. Excellent experience, vibes and environment. Everything is near and available in the area and vicinity. Location very close to Boston. Wonderful amenities. Courteous staff.

Oct 27, 2022

I've had a good time living in this building. The amenities are nice, the design is modern and the staff have been responsive to me. There are also occasional building events which are fun and it's a nice way to meet neighbors.

Oct 26, 2022

Hallway & Garage cleanliness can be improved Great community to live in. Love the amenities. Love the events too. Location is perfect for households working downtown or needing good access to Boston

Oct 25, 2022

Very diversified community, from your professionals to retired people. I like the website and the community blog which keeps us involved and informed of what is going on in the building. It also helps us create opportunities and help the community grow and share skills

Oct 25, 2022

It’s a beautiful residence. Some of the counters and cabinets in the kitchen feel live they were created hastily without much regard for durability or use. Not all the outlets/doors work but the common spaces are nice and the people here are friendly. The neighborhood is also quite nice.

Oct 24, 2022

Great place to live. Quiet enough at night, amenities are a huge perk. Grills, gym, pool in the summer, and the rooftop common area are things that I will miss when I move out.

Oct 20, 2022

Need to hire some good , responsible and responsive star and the community will be a good place to live in. Amenities are good, need some good offers for renewal of lease

Oct 1, 2022

Overall I enjoyed my experience at Miscela and love the assembly area. However there were certainly growing pains involved with the new building - please see below comments- -initially almost impossible to get lease agent on phone -Excessively frequent fire alarms at all hours of day and night -communal spaces being taken over almost every night by large rude groups -half of amenities not be usable (fire pit never on, tv in rooftop doesn’t work, clicker missing for outdoor tv, and way more) -frequent unprofessional emails sent to all residents when there is only 1 party responsible for an issue. - amenities taking long to open than advertised at initial tour -our unit advertised as having an island (we got a metal table) -Our lease states we have an assigned parking spot (this never occurred yet we had to pay full rate for parking) -Not included in lease that we would have to pay to rent out amenity spaces. -Maintenance put wrong size filter in my vent causing dirty air for months

Oct 1, 2022

The noise is not ideal and the crowd constantly in the lobbies hogging the hang out area is disappointing. Also the dogs peeing in the elevator-it happens and you can’t control it but it’s very frequent

Sep 29, 2022

I am not one to write about the experience at Miscela Apartments, I think that we all have different thoughts, we always look for the negative side for something minimal,I share them. my experience With Michael & Liam in the whole process from the beginning everything was very organized, fast, and very simple, the day I arrived with my move everything was very organized, now I can tell you the place is very centralized with everything you need, cvs, homedepot, food, walking distance, It is a quiet place to live, and for sure, I speak from my experience, maybe other people have negative things to say, with their experiences. I can only tell you do not believe what you read; we human beings are so difficult to understand. but I'll come back and explain to you live your own experience of living, this place that for me meets my expectations of a good place to live.Miscela has everything you need less than 3 miles away, including, Cambridge is only 3 miles away by car, you have the subway,

Sep 28, 2022

The apartment is really nice and comfortable! It is surrounded by all comfort: starting from gym, studios,... Also the building is located in a very nice area. 😊

Sep 28, 2022

Moving in was very easy thanks to the loading dock, elevator, and excellent staff. We love our apartment so far and the amenities are amazing!

Sep 28, 2022

My time here has been great. The location is perfect as you have so much around you. Easy access to restaurants, shopping and even the Orange Line

Sep 23, 2022

It’s good to be part of the Miscela community. The maintenance team is quick to respond and resolve issues. It is easy to log problems and the staff is mostly helpful.

Sep 15, 2022

I've been really disappointed with my time here at Miscela. A few weeks ago the fire alarm went off throughout the entire night and they didn't send an email out until the following morning to warn us (even though we did not get any sleep). Upon emailing them about this, there was no response back. Additionally, we have dealt with racist comments from the concierge regarding other tenants, and yet once again, after emailing management, nothing changed. Will not be resigning our lease.

Sep 7, 2022

Miscela is an amazing building with exceptional amenities! However what tops the experience is the interaction with the leasing agents! Evan and Michael made my process so smooth. From quick turn around in emails to responding to all my questions and concerns - they provided quality! Seeing a building virtually is totally different however when you get to the building it’s exactly how they describe it! I’d recommend Miscela to anyone and in particular - if you have the chance of working with Evan and Michael, I know they won’t let you down! Evan and Michael - thank you again for your continuous support and I appreciate you making my transition to Miscela smooth sailing! You guys rock!

Sep 4, 2022

Great leasing team! Can’t say enough good things about them, super helpful and welcoming. Also, the amenities are new and the building itself is in a great location

Aug 31, 2022

Building is nice but floors are so loud above us not great insulation. Truly frustrating to hear everything above you when it’s advertised as “luxury living” I think the price point for the size room and quality is too high comparatively for boston. Paying this price I’d expect a lot less of these types of problems.

Aug 31, 2022

I love living at Miscela, and enjoy the amenities daily 😀 The best part about Miscela is the community events and facilities organized by the staff regularly! Many thanks!

Aug 29, 2022

Pretty great experience. Wish the mailroom packages would get scanned in every time. Also, still have some issues with the fire alarm going off. Overall though, pretty nice place to live.

Aug 29, 2022

Extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming! Could not have imagined an easier moving experience (from signing the lease, to renting the loading elevator, to finally moving in!)

Aug 29, 2022

Love the space but building is becoming very crowded, elevator not always functioning, community spaces close very early, people are not respectful of the community and use of amenities and common spaces, pets smell in elevators and common areas.

Aug 28, 2022

I have enjoyed living here. Love the view from my apartment and especially from the roof deck. The amenities are great and the neighborhood is really good.

Aug 23, 2022

I have had a great overall resident experience. The main problems would be the inconsistency with the grills, and the phone signal issues throughout the building.

Aug 22, 2022

Is incrible I like this experience in Assembly row, is amazing have a train outside your apartments and especial restaurant, outlets and everything I appreciate

Aug 21, 2022

Great place to live. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to live just outside the city but still have some kind of city living experience

Aug 20, 2022

The apartments are soundproof and have great appliances. The location is excellent, right next to the metro, and the area is very nice and safe.

Aug 20, 2022

Just moved here recently, it's a very nice place with good amenities and services; besides that, the community around here is very convenient, you could find everything you need by just walking in 10 minutes.

Aug 18, 2022

Great building with good amenities. The Row Location is key! There are many new restaurants and shops that keep popping up right outside our doors.

Aug 18, 2022

Just moved here yesterday. Staff are nice. Everyone I’ve met so far has been pleasant. Despite being in assembly, it seems far from almost everything.

Aug 16, 2022

Good staffs and amenities. One thing that I wished it was implemented is the ride share feature. Although Miscela sits on the good public transportion spot, it is not perfect to go to every corners in the town. If there is some kind of real time dash board for the ride share depart from the apartment it will definitely helpful for the resident to travel around the town.

Aug 16, 2022

pretty awesome living here! awesome staff all around, amazing views, plenty around. Its a must check out typa place. Lots to do here as well. very family friendly

Aug 13, 2022

I have lived in Miscela for 6 months now. Miscela is very convenient, the residents of the community, so far, seem very friendly, but most importantly my daughter loves it. The only thing she would add is a playground for herself and other children to enjoy. 🙂

Aug 11, 2022

I lost my package more then 2 times already, hoping to have some solution, I didn’t even get an email to inform I have a package. And spoke to the front desk and was not helpful

Aug 8, 2022

So far so good. Staff are friendly. Maintenance are good. Gym appliance are new. Also very new. Neighbors are friendly! The pool party are great! Rooftop view are wonderful

Jun 30, 2022

The location is great! Love all the restaurants. Shopping is great within Assembly as well. Couldn’t ask for a better apartment home. Love all the amenities.

Jun 15, 2022

While living at Miscela has been a mostly pleasant experience, the responsiveness of the management team has been slow. The amenities are great - and the location is lovely.

May 6, 2022

Nice, clean building. No real issues lately. There's a guy living here who decides to play guitar and sing around 10:30pm some nights, which is annoying. Otherwise, great place to live, and looking forward to enjoying the outdoor space with the warmer weather.

Apr 23, 2022

Very nice community with lots of shops around. Clean and pleasing to walk around. Quiet and has amenities that allow you to work outside of your apartment.

Mar 18, 2022

Moved here in August and living it! Great building with amazing amenities. Location is key! We have restaurants and shopping right outside our doors.

Feb 25, 2022

Have been really enjoying living at Miscela! The location is great and Assembly has so many shopping and dining places to enjoy close by! Really excited for the rest of this year!

Feb 10, 2022

Aside from not being able to reserve amenity spaces yet and the occasional construction noises across the street, living here is dope. The gym is very spacious for an apartment gym

Feb 1, 2022

I really enjoy living in Miscela and love the amenities in the community. I also really like the staff around the building and the support they give their residents.

Jan 27, 2022

Cannot use any common amenities as masks are not required. Concierges do not wear masks appropriately. Garage was meant to be heated; it is not.

Jan 18, 2022

Been a pretty good experience so far. Had some apartment issues, but the maintenance team has been great. I appreciate all the hard work they do. On the downside, I've been trying to get parking since early September but haven't been able to. Gym is nice; wish it had a free weight squat rack, and clamps for the bar.

Nov 30, 2021

Living space is great, and amenities are dope now that they are open. Still a little frustrated that the gym isn’t fully equipped yet, the bike room door doesn’t open from inside the bike room, and the there doesn’t seem to be a system in place for packages. Aside from these things are good

Oct 28, 2021

The new amenities in the building are great and are always kept clean. The staff is very responsive to any maintenance requests and all my requests are always promptly handled. The location is very convenient, close to the T line, and also in one of the most happening neighborhoods in the area!

Oct 23, 2021

Cons: Three emails in a row about a missing package to management, no response. Washer and dryer get extremely hot. Soundproofing in mid-rise is non-existent. Elevators are usually dirty. Pros: Nice area, amenities are nice, concierge and maintenance are great.

Oct 21, 2021

I moved in about 2 months ago… but there is still no gym or parking. Everyone has been very nice, but I am not getting most of the amenities I pay for. There also is loud construction during the day starting at 8AM

Oct 14, 2021

We are loving our new apartment and the amenities that Miscela offers. The leasing staff and maintenance has been very helpful in the entire process.

Aug 27, 2021

Nice place, great location, and all the staff are very friendly. Building is still under construction so the alarms are constantly going off, which is annoying, but everything else has been good.

Aug 20, 2021

Nice apartment , very clear and convenient, 1 min walk to subway. 5 mins walk to Trader Joe’s , CVS etc.. I love the lobby !! Doorman is there 24/7.

Aug 18, 2021

Move-in went smoothly, apartment looks amazing, neighborhood couldn't be better. Overall extremely satisfied with our experience with Miscela

Aug 13, 2021

Love the buildings style and location. Everyone we’ve seen around has been very friendly. Looking forward to living at Miscela and assembly this year!

Aug 13, 2021

I move in on Aug 7th. The main amenities in the fourth and fifth floor are still under construction. Employees are too few and cannot pick up the phone call. I have told the agents three times about the internet guy will come to set up my services, but they forgot or mis-communication and don’t allow them to come in just one day before I move in. I also wait for a cart to carry my groceries for 30 minutes. The door to open the balcony also don’t work when I move in.

Aug 8, 2021

Washer and dryer is not good it will take 11-12 hours to dry my clothes and hot water always go out .called few times and still didn’t fix the problem

Jul 29, 2021

While our move in experience hasn’t been all that we dreamed of it to be, our leasing manager Evan Gray is working really hard to make everything amazing for us. We appreciate him!!

Jul 29, 2021

apartments are being and modern. staff is helpful and willing to help. location is unbeatable. common area are clean and nice. great place to live!

Jul 28, 2021

The staff is great and you couldn’t ask for a better location to live. Nothing like walking outside your door and being able to shop, eat and drink. Amenities are amazing as well.

Jul 27, 2021

Great apartment, everyone around is super friendly and accommodating. Feels very safe and secure to live there. Brand new amenities and living space.

Jul 27, 2021

Living at Miscela has been amazing! The location and the luxury of the apartments make this an ideal place to live. I would highly recommend!

Jul 26, 2021

The apartment is great with an amazing view. Hard to beat living in assembly with everything to do here! Can’t wait for the roof and pool to open up!

Jul 25, 2021

So far so good! everyone has been super helpful and diligent. I pass by Miscela every day to work and cannot wait until I live there full time.

Jul 14, 2021

Experience has been great so far. Apartment is very nice, location is the best part, but amenities are great as well. Building is not complete yet, so I expect it to get better.

Jul 12, 2021

Move in was smooth however there were a few initial issues with dishwasher, a couple outlets, and microwave. Looking forward to the amenities opening up and getting to know the community as more tenants move in!

Jul 11, 2021

We had a great experience with Evan, who has been and continues to be very responsive, accommodating and helped us move into the building with zero complaints. We love Assembly Row, the restaurants & shops, and our friends in the building.

Jul 7, 2021

I thoroughly enjoyed my last year at the watermark. Great management and front desk people who made it a great experience. The amenities are well kept and there are great events for residents. Location on seaport boulevard is top notch

Jul 5, 2021

Toured the building once it’s opened. Will be beautiful with all the finishings. Lots of amenities and cool areas for the residents to hang out. Assembly row is great!

Jul 2, 2021

Great experience at Montaje; looking forward to Miscela! Based on the gallery, the pool and common areas look amazing. Can't wait to check out the Speakeasy!

Jul 2, 2021
