Maytag Village

A little smaller than the big boy laundromat up the street, but a lot more helpful. I had blown off laundry for a few weeks and just needed to get it done in one fell swoop. The woman in charge was very helpful and even cleared out three dryers when I needed them. I would definitely go back.

This review is mostly to let people know something I did not know when going to pick up my items — it’s cash only. I was pretty annoyed when going to pick up my large order that I couldn’t use a credit card or even write them a check. Luckily, there’s an ATM at the Rent-​A-​Center four blocks down, but they could have told me that it was cash only when I dropped off my items. In terms of everything else, I found it to be standard price and quality of service.

I drop my laundry off here and they do it for me really quickly. My clothes smell great, they are well folded, and the price isn’t too bad. Best of all, the people here are SUPER NICE. I’ll miss this place when I move out of East Somerville.

I recently discovered this laundromat after my car broke down and could no longer drive to my favorite laundromat, City Line. It has an unusual shape which makes for a little artful dodging when it comes to getting around inside (especially if you have a rolling laundry bag, like me). However, there are a fair amount of machines and the small (or should I say «regular») size machines are only $ 2.25 per load. That’s a steal in Somerville! The larger machines are $ 3.75 and the industrial ones are $ 4.50 (if I’m remembering correctly).
There’s not a lot of seating, so if you plan to sit and wait for your laundry like I do, you better go on a week night (off-​peak) or plan to get there early on a Saturday/​Sunday morning.
The staff is nice and will say hi when you arrive. They are usually behind their counter folding laundry and watching TV. There are a couple of vending machines for convenience and one of the nicer things is that whomever owns the place has a TON of plant life. It’s kind of a nice little treat to see all the greenery splashed against the extreme orange and yellow 70’s vibe.
