overall a decent place in a quiet neighborhood within a short drive of city park and downtown boston, but with 2 major privacy related drawbacks. appreciated amenities like coffee maker (with filters and grounds provided), standing ac unit as well as multiple fans, roku for the tv. was disappointed by the yard - advertised as 'huge private yard', but actually has very little privacy as it's fully visible from street and only partially fenced. i suggest checking whether the curtains throughout the unit have been replaced before booking - the living room and kitchen either have sheer lacy curtains or, in the case of the large living room window, curtains that don't cover the entire window which faces the street
