I stayed in Boston for a week with my girlfriend and we stayed over at Mikhail's place. Right from the start, Mikhail kept in touch and provided us with detailed instructions how to check in and facilitated us to quickly settle in. The apartment is roomy, nice and contains excellent facilities (i.e. good kitchen, comfortable beds, clean bathroom and washing & dryer machines on the ground floor). The T line stops very close by, which allows you to get in to the city quickly. There is a Whole Foods supermarket on a 8-10 min walking distance, as well as a couple of liquor stores and great takeout places / restaurants. Also, getting to Cambridge using Uber/Lyft is really easy and cheap. Overall, a great place to stay in case you want to spend a nice time in Boston,and allows you to still be able to explore the city!
