My roommates and I stayed at Liya's place for an extended stay over the course of a few months as we are college seniors and needed an off campus residence. We go to school in the city and found the apartment to be a perfect location to commute to campus and to be near all the action and fun in downtown Boston! The apartment was cozy and on a nice quiet street which is something we've wanted all four years of school living in the busy city. The building was also quiet and we had plenty of privacy. The neighborhood surroundings too are absolutely beautiful. Beacon Hill is especially nice around Halloween and the holidays.
