Location perfect. Close to Subway and restaurants. Very lively area. Loved the overall atmosphere of the surroundings. Loads to do and see. Felt extremely safe. A few homeless people hanging around but never bothered us too much. As far as the cleanliness of the apartment, I felt they could have done a bit better. Bedding in one of the bedrooms were stained and the duvet inner without a cover was just put on the bed and a flat sheet put on that to cover the inner. The other two bedrooms were very clean so I dont know what happened that the cleaning staff oversaw the bedding in the middle room. Brian and Heather however fantastic hosts. Very responsive to messages. The area a bit noisy in the morning from about 6am but who wants to sleep late in any case in Boston. Overall a great experience and I would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone if you want to be in downtown Boston. Thank you Brian and Heather for a great stay. Hope to visit again soon.
