So I'm browsing around massage places near my work and I see that there's a cheap place RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS FROM MY OFFICE with universally rave reviews. There must be a catch, I think, this is just way too good to be true. Sure enough when I call I am told that they only take females and couples. Whaaaa?? Did I misdial? Did I inadvertently call the HQ of One Leg Up? Indeed, even though there does appear to be a recent review from a single male, they must have been in an especially good mood that day. Hrrmph.
I suspect, as Alex S. intimated, that they are singling out single males as naughty-by-nature, and not worth the risk of unsolicited advances on the female staff. Someone please point me to the cavemen who are responsible for this perception so I can kick them in their ungentlemently nuts.

This place is no longer in business, I don't know why Yelp doesn't take down non-existent establishments. Would've saved me a miserable wild goose chase in the cold rain. Interface FAIL.

Definitely agree with the general consensus here: this is a clean- if not totally luxurious- place to get a great massage at a very reasonable price. This was my first experience receiving a professional massage and I was not disappointed. The pressure was just enough for me to feel it and not feel ticklish, but not so much that it was uncomfortable.

I have to second the complaints about the constant beeping, this is probably the one major issue I had. The only sound that could be more effective in wrenching me out of my tranquil state would be a voice mail message from my boss played over their sound system. I understand that they need a way to let the therapists keep track of how much time is left in the session, but there are so many gadgets out there that could provide a much less intrusive sound (or even a gentle display), there is just no excuse for this.

Overall though, a very pleasurable and relaxing experience. At what turned out to be about 20 minutes into the massage, I was sure I had gone over the 30 minutes I had reserved and would have been happy to pay for an hour. 10 minutes later, Nancy let me know that the 30 minutes were up and at that point I was pretty satisfied. But most likely when I go back I will go for the full hour.
