81 Essex Street is a downtown Boston rental building near Chinatown and the Theater District. Its one- and two-bedroom apartments offer compact city layouts with different kitchen and living-room arrangements.
Large windows are a recurring feature. Some homes have hardwood floors while other finishes vary, so use photographs and a floor plan for the apartment actually being offered.

Kitchens and useful storage
The kitchens include a range, refrigerator and cabinet storage. Some plans have space for a small dining nook; others connect the kitchen directly with the living area.
The guide describes linen closets and selected larger bedroom closets. Check usable dimensions, bedroom separation and furniture placement rather than relying on older square-footage figures.
Laundry, maintenance and parking
On-site laundry and emergency maintenance are listed among the building services. Shared laundry means you should confirm access and payment arrangements rather than expect an in-unit washer and dryer.
Monthly parking is offered by garages in the surrounding area, not as a guaranteed building space. Ask about utility inclusions and the total lease cost when comparing this address with other downtown apartments.
