The apartment was not as comfortable as I expected after reading the prior reviews. The positive aspects of the place were its location to the places our family wanted to visit. Approximately 30 minutes from Great Barrington, Lee, and West Stockbridge. It was a decent size but not large enough for six people as described. The space was basically clean but the rugs were dirty. This should be remedied especially if you have small children or allergies. The yard was spacious but barren. The porch was large with plenty of chairs and two tables. The internet service was fast and the kitchen had all the basic amenities.
One of my major complaints were the beds and pillows. They were very uncomfortable. After a long day of activities, a family wants and needs a good rest to enjoy the next day. We were all tired and cranky in the morning. My second complaint was the number of extension cords in the living room and in one of the bedrooms because some of the outlets were not working. This really should be repaired for safety reasons.
Lastly, the "pet friendly" means that you can bring your pet, but cannot leave the pet unattended. This limited the places we could visit.
Overall, I think the apartment is a good place to crash if you are staying for a weekend. However, any time longer would require some of the updates mentioned above. Compared to other places we have stayed in the past summers, this was the least liked and overpriced.
In sum, even though we did not rest as much as we would have liked, we did enjoy our vacation.
