Wanderboat’s 3.9/5 from 12 reviews is the largest published review base, so it sets the level; on the requested conversion curve, 3.9/5 converts to 6.7/10. The Google-based figures are more favorable but have smaller samples, while the available written feedback is mostly positive and provides no published evidence about physical systems. | |||
no notes returned no links returned | Published reviews and review summaries are strongest on lifestyle: one resident called living at The Modern “wonderful,” praised the amenities and said the location was fantastic, while another review described the atmosphere as stylish and said staff went “above and beyond.” The clearest operational complaint was a reviewer’s report that repeated calls and emails to schedule a viewing received no response; the independent 2026 review also flags Rainey Street noise, nearby construction and traffic as practical drawbacks. |
