Alex's apartment was perfect for my family. We have a toddler and two cats and the apartment was large enough for us and had all the amenities a family our size would need. The kitchen, two bedrooms, bathtub, and desk area were especially useful for us. Alex's communication was excellent and usually responded immediately (<5min). Alex was courteous and allowed us to extend our stay when we needed a few more days due to changing plans. The neighborhood is easy to walk to restaurants, grocery store, coffee, playgrounds, etc (all <5min walk away). It is very close to the longwood area (10-15min walk depending on destination). Though we did not use it, public transportation (green line train or bus) to downtown Boston is ~5min walk away. We stayed during covid, and I appreciated that all residents in the building wore masks and adhered to the 1 person/elevator rule. Checkin/checkout was contactless, which we also appreciated. Those very sensitive to noise should know that ambulances commonly drive past with sirens. Also, neighbors can sometimes be heard through the ceiling, and twice we were woken up at ~2am to hear neighbors loudly talking, presumably on their balcony. For those needing to stay close to Longwood area, or perhaps downtown Boston, this place is the good value.
