Nat was an excellent host. He saved us by offering his apartment 3 days before our trip, after 2 cancellations by two different hosts. Then our flight was cancelled hours before departure, and we couldn't get to Boston until the next day. Even though he didn't have to per the cancellation policy, he refunded us a majority of the first night's charge AND he left school to come and let us into the apartment in the morning. He gave us great recommendations for breakfast and for things to do in the area. The apartment really is in a primo location, the view of the Charles is first-rate - a fall afternoon stroll on the Esplanade is required. The apartment is light, airy, comfortable and clean and the building is quintessential Boston, with skinny creaky elevators and uneven floors covered by beautiful wide plank floorboards. I highly recommend this apartment and this host.
