The description of the apartment was perfect. It was even better in person! I took photos of the bathroom and sent them to friends, it was so dang cute. This was the perfect size for a couple and the sofa has a bed, too. The neighborhood is very quaint and super quiet. It is safe and the walk to the Metro was only a few blocks. We have never taken even the Boston subway but the ticket people explained every thing. I would recommend asking them about how many tickets to by for the time you are there. There is an all day pass and a 6 trip pass, and probably more. We did not get to meet Shelagh but she was in touch by email and text. She left us brie cheese and green grapes! We will recommend this apartment and perhaps stay againe!
