This was an amazing location in Boston's Back Bay, next to the Charles River Esplanade (perfect for running or strolling). Also very close to the Public Gardens and the Common, and a nice walk away from Newbury St. and Boylston St. The neighborhood is very quiet and beautiful--I felt extremely safe walking around at night. About a 20 minute walk to the red line at Charles MGH.
The hosts were proactive and sent straightforward house rules and instructions for check in/out. Getting in was super easy, nice to get 2 key sets.
The building was quiet, I rarely heard voices or other sounds of neighbors.
The space was very cozy, with the charm and patina of an old brownstone studio, as well as the endearing squeaks of floors/adjoining stairs. The kitchenette was fully loaded for cooking, but easy to make do with the toaster and microwave. Bathroom was more original but clean, towels were soft, bed was warm. :) Coin washer/dryer was a plus. Internet was solid.
Would stay again, thanks!
