My experience from beginning to end was perfect. I met with Mike who was incredibly nice and helpful with suggestions for places to eat and what is local. The apartment was absolutely wonderful! It was so clean and stylish and in close proximity to just about everything you need. We chose to walk to most of the main Boston attractions and all were within a mile or so walking distance. If walking isn't your thing, the Mass Ave Orange line is about a block away. Regarding parking, since it was Memorial Day weekend we were not fortunate enough to get street parking. I used SpotHero to secure a spot in the Clarendon St Garage. It was a 15 min walk (0.7 mi) straight up Columbus Ave and also located right near the Back Bay stop on the Orange line. (There were closer garages, but this was the most reasonably priced garage for me. Like I said, we parked and walked or used the T to get around.) Whole Foods is nearby as well as many great restaurants and coffee shops. As stated in previous reviews, the apartment is on Massachusetts Ave which is busy and can be noisy but I never heard anything from the bedroom in the back of the house. The laundry amenities were a lifesaver and Mike has the softest towels I have ever used! My family and I had an amazing time in Boston and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the apartment. We will definitely look to book Mike's place on future trips. Thank you!
