This apartment is in such a wonderful location, it’s a quiet and safe residential street that’s tucked away from the middle of the city so you get more of a view of what it must be like to be a local. The walk to the T stop or to the seaport district is quite pleasant, very easy to get around.
The apartment itself was a bit mixed. It was perfectly clean but smaller than the photos implied. It would be very uncomfortable for 6 people and was just about the right space for 2 of us due to there being one bathroom and space on the sofa for 3 at best.
Unfortunately, we felt very uncomfortable whilst in the apartment itself as the upstairs neighbours were noisy beyond belief. They’d be stomping around and shrieking, really annoying if we happened to be in already as they came/left their apartments. Also there was a gap in the blind which meant anyone on the street could look into the property, especially if the light was on. Most concerning for us though, was the key code for the apartment door was a very obvious combination which left us feeling vulnerable despite the location generally feeling safe.
Lastly, the listing stated there was luggage storage available and that was the deciding factor for us booking this apartment as our flight home was at 22:20. It transpired while we were in the apartment that it wouldn’t be available as Shelby was away. This incurred a stressful last minute search for a solution, creating an unbudgeted last minute expense at the end of the trip.
As Shelby was abroad, there wasn’t anything that could be done during our stay but hopefully these issues can be addressed in future.
We’d definitely visit Boston again and it was a great trip overall, especially as it contained my birthday and our engagement, but regretfully, we wouldn’t stay in this apartment again.
