We stayed at Kristin's place for 2 weeks in October. The apartment was everything we needed to make it a very comfortable stay. Very thorough design and little cute details made it feel like home and not a rental.
Big pluses:
* Kitchen stocked with everything you need to cook meals at home.
* Proximity to Whole Foods, wine and spirits store and convenient store.
* Free parking next to the apartment. Kristin has little reminder note inside to prompt the street sweeping dates. Just pay attention to those parking signs.
* Some nice restaurants and coffee places within a few blocks.
Minor things to consider: the bedrooms are fairly small, perhaps typical for old buildings in boston, but worked perfectly for us (family of 3). The living room and the kitchen are very spacious and this where we spent most of the time anyways.
Just to sum up: the place is perfect for a short and/or long stay. we felt like home, and will definitely rent it again.
