This one BR apartment was perfect for me and my son, who was attending a summer program at Berklee. He could walk easily to classes. The place is so convenient to everything we cared about. It was such an easy place to live for a few days--lots of small restaurants and a Whole Foods and CVS both half a block away, for instance. It's also a short walk to both the Boston Museum of Fine Art and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and half a block to the Boston Symphony Hall--unfortunately for us everyone was in Tanglewood during our visit--but even so I can imagine coming back just for a wonderful immersion in the Arts during a vacation in Boston. It's a very short walk also to the Green Line and Orange Line subway stations--wonderful. I don't know about parking since we didn't have a car but I would recommend you don't bring a car, you will not need one.
Inside was so lovely. The bed was extremely comfortable and my son tells me the sofa was too--it makes into a long single bed.
We spent more to stay here than I had originally budgeted for our lodging, and there were other AirBnB alternatives that were less expensive in the area, but Richard and Vicki's apartment was one of those lovely places where the extra dollars we spent per night were worth every penny.
