It's been mostly a good experience. Sometimes the trash chute is closed, which is frustrating. The ice maker does not work in the common room on the 4th floor. Otherwise, it's fine living here.

nice common area, clean hallway, electrical appliances are in good shape, however, no lighting in the living room is extremely inconvenient and the heater is pretty loud
Generally a great place to live. The amenities are good, there are monthly events put on by management, and the concierge folks are great and friendly.

Proto is a great community; we love the amenities and the neighborhood. Despite being in the heart of Kendall, it is surprisingly quiet which is a huge plus!

Nice place to live. Close to the T. On street Parking is a bit hard for guests but other than that nice place to live. Community could be a little more kid friendly/ orientated as I am sure there are other parents in the building.

It’s ok to live here. This review is very annoying and it’s taking away from my enjoyment of living here. The minimum characters is awful and should be discontinued.

Building is very beautiful and the staffs are gentle and friendly. A lot of community events are held. But the walls between rooms seems to be very thin. The noises from neighbor or above/lower floor bother me. But overall, good apartment.

I like everything about Proto the only thing that I would change is the parking situation for visitors and or deliveries. It's sometimes very inconvenient if you have a food delivery and you have to go all the way downstairs to get it.

Loving the building and the lovely staff that we get to interact with on a daily basis! In particular, we would like to say how much Vincent (the concierge) has made great efforts to welcome us to Boston. He makes everyday better for us.

I enjoy living here very much. The staff is always friendly, and the building is well-maintained. I love my cozy little apartment , and enjoy the city views from my windows. Also, having a garage to park my car is invaluable in the winter months.
