Stayed for one week during the Marathon weekend. The location is superb. Everything is in walking distance and Trader's Joe is just a few minutes walk away.
Newbury street is very lively but the room is quiet since it's facing the public alley. The room is exactly as photographed, clean and tidy, no surprises (other than it had hangers & toilet papers!).
Some random thoughts...
- The bathroom sink is tiny with hardly any space to put toothbrush, cup, soap etc. I had to keep them in the kitchen.
- I appreciated that they provided a kitchen towel. Otherwise I would've had to put the wet washed mug/plates on the bare kitchen counter.
- It is bright with large windows but had to keep the roller screen down for the most time since there is a tall building right across from the road.
- As some reviewers have mentioned, this room is on the 4th floor so be prepared if you have a large suitcase.
- I wish they provided coffee filters since the filter I brought (cone-shaped) didn't fit, and didn't have time to look for the flat-bottom filters.
Alicia was very responsive in communication. All in all, had a wonderful stay in a great neighborhood. Will definitely look it up next time I visit Boston.
