Kept my security deposit over an accounting issue that I disproved. They play games with their phone systems and email support; I've been trying to reach them for 8 months but all they ever do is redirect my call and tell me they'll get back to me.

Just moved in. Very smelly indoor so bought an air quality monitor. Unhealthy level of TVOC (1.8 mg/m3) and HCHO (0.17mg/m3).

Zinc is an amazing apartment where you don’t have to worry about maintenance or repair issues because they have an excellent team dedicated to handling them. They are highly responsive and resolve any issues promptly.

The front door of the building is often wide open and not monitored - I suggest that you need fob-key access to get in at all times, not just after 9. Our friends have gotten in several times without any security stopping them.

I lived here for a year, and it was a great time! Thank you, Aizhan and all staff, for your kind management. Compared to apartments near Cambridge Crossing and Kendall Square, living at Zinc has a good value-to-price ratio.

I love all of the concierge staff. They are incredibly friendly and helpful. The gym is convenient and well equipped. The nearby construction can unfortunately be disturbing / disruptive. It is fairly loud and shakes the building quite a bit.

I really enjoy using the gym and the outdoor grilling. The outdoor grills could use a bit more upkeep as they get clogged and not all the fire comes out. Guest parking tends to run out quickly though and could be increased. Not in the best part of to...

From the beginning of the experience with the leasing office , the staff has been super helpful in making my transition to the apartments. I love how well taken care the facilities are, especially the gym area.

It's quite nice, although a little pricy. The front desk staff is very friendly and the building is well-maintained. The apartment is also very close to the Green line and not too far of a walk from the Kendall Square red line. Overall, a fair price ...

Overall, it is a very good apartment, good condition, good staff and good facilities, despite the noises from the railway at night. The noise is not that often, several days per month. But when it happens, it is definitely a problem for sleep.

It would be nice to invest in the neighborhood and have cafes open. The building is nice but the area seems a bit isolated. I suggested to follow the lead of Green Dist and approach Starbucks. http://archive.boston.com/business/news/2014/04/04/starbu...
