I had a great experience at Alex long's apt. He was a great host! The apartment was very nice , beautiful kitchen and comfy couch with tv amd wireless. It was well furnished with everything you need. The jacuzzi tub was relaxing and the bed was very comfortable!
The only drawback was its in Roxbury which is not the greatest of areas. It's quite a walk to the store! There is a t station not too far away, but not close enough when weather is bad! I took taxis the whole time!
It is about 3 miles from downtown! I was so happy I had a kitchen and not a hotel room!
